Urolift and implant replacement with issues

Published

Hello I don't know if you can help me or not. I had a Urolift done in April of last year. Had a catheter for 3 days. urine cleared up with in 24 hours very little clogs. Yesterday had to have one of the implants replaced. The implant he replaced was cutting my prostate and caused me a infection. He put in a new one and cleaned up the mess on the prostate. I think he had to cut away a little of the prostate so it would not get a infection again. I have a catheter in and I have been bleeding and passing blood clogs. and my urine is still a dark burgundy. I just past a 2 in blood clog from the tip of the member and it hurt like hell when I pee and pass the clogs. Nothing is the way it was why I had the 4 put in before. I do go on Monday and have the catheter out. My son is worried that because of all the blood that has been coming out he is worried that I am hemorrhaging. I feel ok do have a headache. Is this normal. I do know all procedure are different. Show I go to the hospital or just wait and see the urologist on Monday. Thank you for you time ken
