Had turbt 8 weeks ago. Non invasive BC STAGE 2 LOW GRADE. since then I have had a tingling pain everytime I pee with little product most of the time. Also still blood until this week. Been to hospital and had bladder scan , no retention. I suspect I have had urethral trauma due to the catheter (size bloody 22!) And have been warned that I need another cystoscopy in Feb to check it all out. I can't imagine how painful that is going to be given the current pain. Still getting up for a dribble 6 to 8 times a night. Anyone else had this?
Are you drinking enough? I drink like a fish after a TURNT or cystoscopy for a couple of days to make sure things are flushed through. Pain can last a while tbh and blood so it's important to drink plenty and ensure no blood clots etc until fully healed. 4 or 5 days after the pain was agonizing when urinating but that died down after that. But tingling sensations etc last quite a while after a cystoscopy for me at least. There will be some trauma to the urethra as it's not meant to have something shoved down it and ite quite large the cytoscope. You will likely have healed well before your next one so it won't be any worse or shouldn't be so try not to worry about that.
Have you had a urine check to make sure you don't have a urine infection to be sure as well. Tingling or burning can be a sign of infection as well.
