I had BPH surgery three weeks ago and I still have minor bleeding. Is this normal? I am an active guy and this is torture that I can't do anything but sit around and a few small chores. When will the bleeding end. Even then will I be able to get back to my normal activity level?

Ray Detor here. I recently had aquablation for BPH and cancer.
You did not say, unless I missed it what type procedure you had.
Your urologist should have informed you of expectations?
For me, Dribbles. Trace of pink slough, 2 weeks post treatment.
I am told you can expect light bleeding on and off for several months.

You need to speak to your urologist. He may have an answer, May want to do a cystoscopy to see what’s going on. I had one and it was really painless and simple to do.

You can wear a pad in your underwear So you can Have a normal life. Those of us that have had incontinence live with that. At least you aren’t incontinent.

The Tena pads Sold on Amazon work real well, Very absorbent.
