Slight bleeding from the urethra.

Posted by jguggia2 @jguggia2, 2 days ago

Two years out from RC and still have slight drainage from urethra with slight bleeding at times. Dr said the urethra was closed off and I am on a blood thinner. Anyone have this problem?

I do not have blood but slight fluid regularly. My RC was 2024-11-13. You could request a cytology and/cystoscopy to check for localized recurrence.

Do you mean the blood draw cytology? Thank you for your response. I see the doctor at Stanford in November with labs and CT results. Thank you again.

November is three months from now. Depending on the volume of the discharge I would move it up. Yes: the cytology should show malignancy if any.
