I have some blood or drainage at times on the tissue around the hole, not
much. The only time I had a lot of blood in the bag was 14 years ago when I had
bladder stones. Dan H***

I have blood around the stoma all the time because my body keeps forming
"granulation tissue" around the stoma. Basically, my body is trying to close
the stoma. It is an artificial hole after all. Maybe that's what's going on
with you? Have someone look closely at the hole to see if there's any tissue
building up. Might be easier to visualize when the catheter is out though.
That said, all my bleeding has been around the stoma on the outside. I've
never had enough blood inside my bladder to change the color of my urine.
Monitor it for a couple days but don't wait too long. Unfortunately, a
catheter does increase one's chances for bladder cancer

I’ve had a Supra pubic catheter since 2009. Paralyzed since 2008. The catheter
itself was changed out this past Thursday. When the nurse took the catheter out
blood was dripping from the hole. This has never happened before. I’ve had a
little bit of blood for one to several days in my urine after a catheter change
many times through the years. But never had anything like this happen. Today it
is dripping from where the catheter goes in. My urine looks like dark raspberry
tea. Has anyone ever experienced the dripping blood before?
