Evening Everyone
I had my TURBT with the usual afterwards on Monday 24tb.
Is it normal to feel sick to?
I came home same day with catheter which I had removed yesterday
Everything according to Urology Surgeon went well. They did have to go into the bladder a bit she said.
now just a waiting game to see what results are which should be a couple of weeks. I do have an appointment pencilled in for 16th November but no time.
I just feel really shattered and in a bit of pain. Also have backache.
How did you all feel after your TURBT?
I have been told not to lift etc and could take upto 6/8 weeks to heal.
Have any of you got any tips that you could give me that helped you afterwards.
Thank you for all of your help and support.
Hi Ben1. Not unusual to feel like this for a while. I was kept in hospital for four days with my catheter and felt a bit sick for a few days. It is normal to have a bit of ack pain. Bear in mind you have had an operation and an inside wound which you cannot see. Some people take a while to get over the anaesthetic. In cases where they have to dig a bit deep, they may give you some morphine which can also make you feel sick. Your discharge notes should tell you what you have had. It will sting for a few days when peeing but should gradually subside. Besides nothing strenuous for a couple of weeks, the main advice we are given is to drink plenty of water 2-3 litres a day. This is to keep debris and blood flushed out and help prevent any blockages. It is hard to drink so much water and some people recommend a touch of lemon barley in it to help it down. Keep a bottle of water handy and drink regularly during the day, stopping about 2 hours before bedtime. I hope your results go well and that determines the next step. Best wishes.
