Punctured bladder

Hi Roxy204. Sorry to hear your husband had a bad turn, but good to know he is picking up. I don't think it is common for people to have numerous infections following a TURBT, but not unusual as we  have seen it on here before. It seems some people don't get on very well with catheters. Make sure he drinks water regularly as this can help prevent UTIs. It sounds as if you are looking after him well. I hope he feels better soon. Best wishes. 

Oh gosh, that sound terrible Roxy!  I always fear having my bladder ruptured whist having the rigid cysto.  More often than not I get a UTI after it too, twice I've had E. coli.  Although I wasn't rushed to hospital but I usually end up calling 111 as I feel so ill with it, & it seems to happen on a bank holiday or a weekend so it's not like I can nip up & see the nurse to get anti biotics.

Thinking of you both, & wishing you all the best with the treatment xxx

I'm so sorry to hear this Roxy204.How horrible for your husband and very stressful for you as well.I seem to have had my fair share of infections after TURBT.This year though instead of  e-coli, I've ended up with a rarer strain of streptococcus associated with surgical procedures.I'm on the 2nd course of antibiotics and fingers crossed it will go as its been a rotten infection.My best wishes to you both.I hope your husband gets better as quickly as possible.Jane xx

Thanks again Rily

Today he has been told his liver function is not right due to all the antibiotics and paracetamol so will need to stay another 48hrs till this is sorted out. Hopefully the chemo will go better than the aftermath of the turbt!! x

Thank you Blanket x

Oh dear that sounds unpleasant Winkers!  For the first time ever my antibiotics didn't work the last time either.  The Dr suggested I'd had a bad reaction & was reluctant to give me any more. I hadn't, as previous bad reactions caused anaphlaxis.  One thing you learn with this is that you get to know your own body, that is until something new happens.   

Apologies for hijacking your thread Roxy.  All the best x

Not at all Blanket. I hope you r ok.

My husband got home tonight thankfully.  He has to get bloods done on Tuesday then again when we have an appointment with the cancer nurse prior to chemo. On discharge we were informed that he actuay had sepsis!  I knew he was ill but that was a shock. Just chemo to go now x

Hi Roxy204,I hope your husband can recover fully now that he is back home.My best wishes to you both.Jane X
