Advice please x

Hi TizzyP . At about the 2 week mark following a TURBT, the scab starts breaking away from the wound as part of the healing process. It is common to see signs of blood and small clots. It is important to drink plenty of water to flush things out. Any heavy lifting or strenuous activity could also aggravate things. If it continues or gets worse, then seek medical advice. There is also the possibility of infection which can happen after a TURBT, so it may be an idea to drop a sample at your GPs to check. Best wishes.

Thank you for replying,  I'm going to see how it goes over the weekend and if necessary ring my CNS on Monday.  All good at the moment x 

Hi TizzyP, after my first TURBT, I was told that 8 could pass blood on and off for up to month, 

As Rily has said, fluid intake is so lmportant, plenty of water, I have the odd red bush tea with Lemon… just for a change…

positive thoughts to you.

If you think about it. They have practically scraped your bladder, unfortunately because you feel OK. You then Try to live life in full capacity.  Be kind to your body, give it time. I'm so proud of you going onwards & upwards but think instinctively.  Your body has gone through something that, should not happen. So, be especially kind to yourself.  

Bravo my love  

Hi Tizzy, I experienced some changes weeks after my TURB and my nurse assured me it was ok. Many of us experience similar things after treatment and can support each other but we are all individuals and always best to check in with your medical team if in doubt about anything..
