Answers: If so for how long afterwards was blood evident in the urine??

Blood was seen for about three weeks then it eased off.

I work as a Technician on a Urology ward and help look after many men who have had a TURP.
Blood may be evident in the urine for up to three months after the operation. The Prostate is a very vascular organ and bleeds profusely when cut into.
As long as the urine is not DARK red, everything is OK. Light red or pink is absolutley fine. Make sure you drink plenty of water and take it easy, no heavy lifting, no driving for at least 4 weeks.
If you are passing clots of blood in your urine that look like lumps of raw liver, you might need to get checked out. Sometimes these clots can cause a blockage in the water pipe (urethra) and thats bad news.
