Blood in catheter: If you are bleeding heavily and passing clots in the catheter, or the catheter is getting blocked with clots- see the doctor today if it is slight staining then can wait till tomorrow for a change and the doctor can reassess, make sure there is no infection or trauma causing the bleeding.
