How long can a prostate bleed while being flushed with saline bags. cancer has been ruled out by a ct scan. it has been 3 weeks and my dad is worried.

Here are some ...: First, ask and work with professionals for detail and expectation. But, for the elderly, he may need some intervention to control bleeding and ensure bladder emptying and no UTI. Oftentimes, he may need surgical relieving prostate obstruction, preferably with laser because of its effectiveness and less bleeding. Ask Doc for individual detail.
