Common question: Are blood and clots in the urine after a prostate biopsy normal?


you can have your so called social security, i left my steady job today....I'm going somewhere in Montana big city turn me loose and set me free.........

Blog post from years ago is still relevant today. 

Patients often times see clots in the urine and worry, that like clots in the blood stream, may go to the heart and lungs and cause a serious medical problem. Clots in the bladder are a problem only if they obstruct the flow of urine i.e. cause urinary retention.

Here is a podcast I did about how I got in trouble with a family trying to make this distinction…unfortunately in an unsuccessful humorous fashion. (From Urological Wit and Wisdom.)
