TURP Postoperative Bleeding Solution?
at evening, I want to ask, a week after undergoing TURP surgery And still wearing a catheter my father is still bleeding and when it comes out it always hurts and often causes the catheter to become blocked, I previously asked, one of the answer points explained that spraying was done to deal with the bleeding , what I ask is how the spraying mechanism is, what are the criteria for the patient’s condition after TURP surgery that can be sprayed and is it normal that a week after surgery, my father is still bleeding, and how long is the normal limit for bleeding after surgery to stop?, Please the explanation, thank you.🙏

Hello, Big. Trans Urethral Resection of Prostate (TURP) is a surgical procedure to remove the prostate in cases of BPH (Benign Prostate Hypertrophy). Ok I will try to answer your question
Spraying on a stuck catheter hose due to a blood clot means by spraying the catheter so that the blockage by a blood clot can flow or it is also called a spooling catheter. Spraying is done with normal saline and sterile solutions. This action can be done in a hospital or health center. There are no special criteria for this spraying procedure, this is done when there is a blockage of the catheter. If after trying to do the spraying of the catheter is still not smooth then the replacement of the catheter can be done. Bleeding after TURP surgery is one of the side effects that can occur after surgery. This can occur due to surgical wounds and the wound healing process. Normally the bleeding will stop in 1-2 weeks. If it is more than 2 weeks, it is better to check back with the doctor who performed the surgery. Therefore, it is very important to do the control according to the schedule of your doctor. However, if there are other complaints, it is better to see a doctor.
