Hubby had TURBT yesterday. Peed twice in hospital and once on getting home 11.30 last night. Now it is 5.30 and despite drinking water is in a lot of discomfort and cant pee. How long do we wait.? Ward said go to A and E if worried. Do we phone 111 A and E is a very long wait.
Hope everything went ok Layney and that things are better now.
I had a much less serious retention situation last month and my GP prescribed an 'alpha blocker' which I think relaxes sphincter muscles in particular, and I think that's what the bladder outlet is, and it seemed to work quite well. Different situation I know but maybe be useful for someone
Thanks. They are trying to take it out Monday. Hopefully he can pee. He is such a worrier tho...
