Hi all, me again as you know I had a second TURBT on the 8th Feb and came home with a catheter for two weeks. My urine started of red but is looks like strong tea with some debris in it, can anyone tell me if this is normal or should I be going to see my doctor. Thanks Lynn.

  • Hi Granny M/ Lynn,

    all sounds normal as far as my experience with my 2 TURBT’s were. You might need to up your intake of fluids as this will clear your system out quicker, so less chance of blockage or infections. If you had it done on the 8th you’re still only 4 days post Op, so still need to give yourself some time. I know it’s nasty having the catheter in for so long, after my 1st TURBT mine was in for 8 days after until my body was trying to kick it out.!! 
    if you’re really concerned in a couple of days give your CNS a bell for a chat GP’s don’t always like (I found) getting involved with post op problems.

    best wishes
