To people who self-cath. Is it normal to see blood clots and blood in the catheterizing?

I have to self-cath following bladder surgery, do to urinary retention. I was wondering if it’s normal to see blood and blood clots when I use my catheter?

I would ask a doctor this question it depends allot on how far out you are post-op and if you have any pain when you urinate it may be normal it may not..Id consult my doctor or surgeon on this one..its very important in your case you get a clear concise answer from a medical professional and not just an answerer..
