Hello My husband had a turbt yesterday to remove a tumour.. No beds and staff shortages meant a quick discharge with minimal post op advice and no meds even though the consultant mentioned antibiotics . He is suffering with bladder spasms and I wondered if there was any advice you lovely people coul offer? I had breast cancer a few years ago and found the website to be invaluable.
I suffered badly with bladder spasms and was guide oxybutinin to combat them somewhat as it relaxes the bladder. Lasted for about 5 or 6 days for me and then settled down.
I'd suggest asking your CNS for help or your doctor or go to A&E for help if that bad.

They don't often give meds for things they know people will likely have sadly. I think they hood give meds like that as part for course as they know the likelihood of things like that after.

Hi Daiquiri . I have had a few TURTBTs and things have usually settled down after a few days. The main post op advice I was given was take it easy for a few days. No heavy lifting or strenuous exercise for several weeks. Most importantly, drink lots of water regularly to flush blood and debris out to prevent blockages. Best wishes.
