I had HoLEP surgery on January 18, 2023. It all went well but now I am five (5) weeks post-op and have started passing large clots on and off. Tonight one of the clots (dime size but thick) momentarily blocked the flow of urine. Has anyone else experienced this this many weeks postop?? Thanks in advance
Hi, Nate.
The passing of blood clots after HoLEP surgery will typically stop within a few days, although in some cases it can take up to a few weeks. My father had a similar problem last year and his clots stopped one month after having surgery.
However, if you are concerned, you should contact your doctor. Your doctor may want to check for infection, clotting disorders, or other problems that could be causing the prolonged bleeding. It is important to follow up with your doctor and report any symptoms that you may be experiencing.
Do you experience any other symptoms, besides clots?
