Radical Cystectomy TURBT BCG in 2022 Happy to answer questions.

Hi Sceptre and welcome to the group. Lots of  support here, and I am sure your experience will be helpful to those going through this. We know how hard a diagnosis can be. Best wishes.

Hi, Sceptre

I'm new and am asking on behalf of a friend's father.  Do you know if rectal bleeding is common after cystectomy.  Have you come across anyone else who has had it?

Many thanks

Gusbun

yes it is very common after the operation and can be for a while but if after a month or so and you still experience it then i would suggest going to you're GP or Urologist and get it checked.

Thanks, Sceptre.

That's very helpful

Kind regards

If the blood is bright red it is more then likely from a anal tear or a  hemorrhoid Which are very common. If it is dark red then as i said before it could be coming from the bowel that was cut if he had a ileal conduit. As they use a part of the bowel to make access for the urine out the body but if it persists then get it checked like i said before. Hope everything turns out ok.
