Incontinence issues

Hello everybody.

Haven't been on the forum for a long while although had great help on here when initially diagnosed with non invasive bladder cancer. Had 2 x TURBT (one was a more preventative type of red patches) Had 2 x mitomycin treatments of 6 weeks, with 6 months approx in between. Have had ongoing 3 months cystoscopy check ups. Last two were 6 monthly. 

However during the last few months I am starting noticing more urge incontinence and slight stinging when peeing. I was wondering if anybody else who has had mitomycin treatment in the past has experience of this? Or is it a case of frequent cystoscopies that cause irritation to the bladder ?

Any experiences relating to incontinence greatly appreciated.

  • Hi. Can't comment as far as possible mitomycin effects, but could it be an infection? Worth following up with GP. 

    As far as incontinence goes, if severe enough to use a pad, online specialist suppliers have better choice and are often cheaper than local shops. (I use ageuk.)
