I had a rigid cystoscopy eleven days ago and my consultant said everything looked fine with no tumours and said I will have a flexible cystoscopy in four months. Since then I have had tingling when urinating. I have had three Turbt’s And two tumours removed. Each time tingling went away after the first 4/5 days. This time it has continued. I came back from playing golf this afternoon and when I started to urinate I had a spurt of blood for a short while. I have urinated three times since each with lighter blood in my urine. My GP is closed for. Staff training mmm Next appointment on line is Thursday evening. Rang Urology nurse but no reply. Tried 111 but gave up after 30 minutes on line. I feel well and have no temperature. Any thoughts?

I'm not a medic but unless it really bleeds a lot I wouldn't worry too much but definitely call my urology nurse in the morning. Great result from your rigid. Hope this is just a blip post surgery. xxx
Hi Garviv. Sounds like you may have done a bit too much too early by playing golf. It takes up to 6 weeks for a wound to heal fully and around the 10 day mark, the scab stars to come away. The usual advice of plenty of water applies to keep things flushed out. Always best to let the medics know though. Best wishes.
Garviv. just to add. I played a lot of golf when I was going through treatment. I got to know every tree and bush on the course. Then one day I realised I had finished a round without having a pee. Things can get better. Happy days. Best wishes.
Hi Garviv,I hope your bleeding stops soon and that you get on well at the doctor's.It is easy to overdo it after a TURBT and not really realise.I once had a bladder haemorrhage exactly a month after one.It was very frightening and happened on a bank holiday weekend.After that experience I avoided heavy lifting or anything too strenuous for 6 weeks after a TURBT.Thank you so much for your good wishes for my histology results.Best wishes.Jane XX
