He had to get a cather put in tuesday. The Dr. said it might have been a Kidney stone but that they dilodged a blood clot when inserting the cather. He had it Removed today at the Urologist office and now he is bleeding from the penis! He has passed some clots but has no pain unless he is passing the clots. Is this normal to have this much bleeding after the removal of a Cather??? He's 14.

The trauma from the catheter can cause some bleeding. However, are you sure the blood clots and bleeding from the catheter removal or if something else is going on? There are a lot of things that keep a boy from urinating since the have on continuous tube (urethra). I would suggest you contacting your Urologist and tell him what is going on and make sure they don't want to see him or for him to go back to the ER. Kidney stones can keep you from urinating, infection can do, dehydration can do it as well, this list can go on for ever. If your uncomfortable about the situation and Urologist is not open then I suggest you taking your son back to the ER.

Well, the doctors need to find the reason for why the blood clot formed in the first place. It could be a bladder infection, but it could be something more serious. Only diagnostic tests can determine the cuase of his problem.

he needs to be having a ultrasound of the bladder and kidneys, a renal scan, and a vcug ASAP!!!!! You need to take him to the ER! Bleeding that much is not normal. However, some is. Also if he is still not urinating then he could possibly be in kidney failure. Go to the ER AND DEMAND THESE TESTS!!!!

bleeding to some extent is ok, but if it looks almost like a hemorraging type , i think might have to back to the er. he needs to be drinking lots of water, if its kidney stones he needs to pass those things asap.

Not from the catheter.
More likely from the procedure to remove the clots.
Should/will pass, but if not, in a few days, return to doctor.
