I recall being informed to avoid ibuprofen after the TURBT due to increased risk of bleeding. I didn’t take any ibuprofen for close to six months. I have had some mild lingering effects of the BCG since the last treatment almost three weeks ago, some (probably) unrelated musculoskeletal pain and a never ending cold, so decided to take ibuprofen last night before bed. It helped immensely and I finally had a restful night’s sleep. Am I making a mistake taking ibuprofen? Is there any direct association of ibuprofen with bladder cancer (I wish I could understand why I got bladder cancer in the first place)? I don’t think I have prostate problems but can ibuprofen negatively affect the prostate? I find ibuprofen much more effective than acetaminophen for pain relief.
