Is it normal to have blood drops at penis end after foley catheter inserted?
human
my 90-year-old father had a foley catheter inserted last night in the emergency room because he was constipated and having problems urinating. There are now fresh blood drops coming from the end of his penis. His urine in the collection bag is yellow. Should i take him back to the emergency room?

Hi,It seems that bleeding is from urethra mostly due to soreness in urethra while inserting catheer.Nothing to worry, it will stop gradually.If bleeding does not stop then go to ER and get examined.Ok and take care.
