A member asked:

How common is it to start bleeding from urethra, a week after catheter insertion?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Catheters: Depends on why the catheter was inserted, whether it is still in place and numerous other factors , including gender. Unlikely to be a highly significant problem, but recommend you discuss it with the physician who placed the catheter.
