Like lifeguyd said, its almost universal to have blood in the urine. It takes very little to really change the color. You have been cut and resectioned with several long incisions on the bladder neck, so that's why you are bleeding some. You will also probably bleed more with activity, but its a natural part of healing. Unless you are getting copious amount of bright blood or urine clow stops, just monitor it. You may see blood for up to 2 to 3 weeks. I'd suggest upping the water intake some, if you aren't already.
