I do get some bleeding but only from outside usually as I am cleaning it. I would suggest you visit your surgeon to be sure there is not a problem

1 ReactionPez01 is right; contact your doctor, surgeon, stoma nurse, or open wound nurse, as bleeding from the inside is probably bad. A little on the outside is usually not so bad. A lot on the outside is probably bad.

1 ReactionI had a radical cystectomy a year ago which caused AFIB which put me on blood thinner Pradaxa. I have had blood in my urine for the last couple of months. It is coming from the urine out put not around the stoma. Could I be irritating the conduit when working and in a crouching down position? My doctor from Stanford wants to do a conduit endoscopy which is new to me. Any information would be grateful.
