3 episodes of stage 4 bladder clogging and clot formation within 5 wk
Endoscopic TURP surgery was conducted on 25 Feb at 9:30 AM. Sameday at 4:PM Cystoscopy and clot evacuation was done due to heavy bleeding and clot retention in bladder.
For next 3 weeks urine was clear but on 21 March bladder was again clogged with blood and clots. Cystoscopy and clot evacuation was done again.
Admitted to hospital again on 25 March due to blood in urine. Bladder wash was given number of times and discharged with cathetar after clear urine. Cathetar was removed after 8 days on 4 April. Medicines like Sylate and Dutastride were given.
Admitted again on 5 March with symptoms similar of heavy blood in urine and clots in bladder. ( Same as 21 March).
Cystoscopy and clot evaluation was conducted again 6 March.
I do not have prostrate cancer.
So there are recurrent episodes of hematuria in bladder. As per doctor this is very rare case particularly after weeks of TURP surgery.
Any input to avoid recurrence, please.

Hello sorry to hear about your situation. Althouh this is a prostate cancer forum, I'm sure there are knowledeable
here who will respond to you shortly. However you may need to provide more information like the reason for your symptoms, why TURP and the Doctor/Hospital that treated you etc. This is the information I found on googling your case:
"After endoscopic TURP, it is common to experience hematuria, which can include clot retention.
Hematuria occurs in approximately 13-22% of patients, with clot retention reported in 1-5% of cases.
Bleeding risk increases with prostate size, and transfusion rates can approach 9% for glands exceeding 60 g.
Postoperative management typically involves large-lumen catheterization, bladder irrigation, and anticoagulation management to prevent further complications.
If you notice significant blood clots or other concerning symptoms, it is crucial to seek medical attention promptly.
For more detailed management strategies, consult with a healthcare professional."
