How long to bleed after prostate enlargement surgery

Patient wound bleeding after prostate enlargement surgery usually lasts for 3 to 5 days and may reach 7 days or even longer in some patients. The main symptom of prostatic hyperplasia is progressively worsening difficulty in urination. The purpose of surgery for patients is to remove the hyperplastic prostate tissue and alleviate the patient’s symptoms through surgery, including different forms of open surgery and minimally invasive surgery. The surgical procedure is to remove the hyperplastic tissue, and the trauma will ooze blood after the surgery, often using a large water bladder urethra to compress the trauma to promote hemostasis, and at the same time, bladder irrigation, application of hemostatic drugs and other active treatments, and observation of the patient’s postoperative bleeding situation. Generally speaking, the urine from the catheter will gradually change from red to light pink in 3 to 5 days after the operation. Open surgery patients may recover slightly slower, and a few patients have delayed postoperative bleeding, and the bleeding time will be prolonged accordingly, and serious cases need to undergo another operation for hemostatic treatment. If you have prostate enlargement, please go to regular hospitals for active diagnosis and treatment, and if you have any discomfort symptoms after the operation, please repeat the examination in time.
