After a TURP, patients may see the new onset of blood in the urine. This can occur as a result of prostatic regrowth and new blood vessels may bleed. There is nothing that you can do to stop the bleeding. An evaluation with a Urologist needs to occur as there can also be other causes of urinary tract  bleeding that may not be associated with the previous procedure.
