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
