Hi does anyone else get blood clots at all in urine? Back story a had a turbt 3 months ago, had them 2 weeks after which was an infection, which can be expected, then last week I had them for 24hrs everytime I went toilet, and have now come back again, it's not an infection as got tested, I still have cancer in the bladder and just started chemotherapy on Saturday. Thanks
I think this is fairly common with bladder cancer and maybe slightly more so after a TURBT. If the clotting is excessive or blocks your system, do seek medical attention.
I still occasionally have a small clot or two (perhaps once per year) despite the last of my two TURBTs being done in 2018. My cancer is being treated on a palliative basis because co-morbidities make many treatment options too risky. Another TURBT is possible if my slow growing cancer causes too many problems. At the moment, I do see occasional rosé urine about 25 times per year and excessive sediment does block my Foley catheter frequently.
Other people with similar circumstances may have a different experience. If in doubt, always consult your GP or contact Urology.
I hope your chemo goes smoothly and effectively stamps on this eminently treatable but nasty disease.
Best wishes, Ray.
