Blood in Urine

Almost seven weeks post op - have been walking approximately 2 miles a day to get my continence back and have been noticing a bit of blood in the diaper after my workout -- only happens when I do my walk or some other work around house, never when sitting idle - Is this something to be concerned about?

Always a good question to call the doctor about.

but likely, it will go away on it's own. You might want to shorten the walks for a week or two. Don't over do, you're body has a lot of healing to do.

Perhaps you should walk one mile today, and see what happens.
The healing down there takes quite a while!

I agree with fiddle, the blood is your body telling you to slow down. I know your anxious about continence but you have to be patient.

I too have recently joined and have benefitted from all the great insights and feedback, including this thread. My situation is similar, walking 4+ miles a day at about 3.5 weeks post-RALP. Just noticed blood in urine the past couple of days. Looks like I need to slow it down. Thanks all for the great comments.
