Good comments here. 24 hours in for me and no infection so that's good. After the procedure they gave me 'absorbent underwear' immediately to wear and sent me on my way. At the end of the day I removed the underwear and it was quite bloody. I had no idea, so it was a bit of a shock. The blood in the urine only lasted a few pees. At bedtime things were back to normal. Just some sensitivity 'down there'. I read that it takes a month to fully heal the gland.

Yup the amount of blood right after the procedure can be shocking. You will continue to pass blood in some amount for 2-3 days. Good job on not getting an infection. That's the Major concern. Also you might want to wear some older regular underwear for the next few days. Don't try to get the blood out if you bleed on it, it's mostly impossible. Just throw it away.
