Hello fellow warriors,
Last Tuesday morning I underwent a TURBT. It was my 2nd after a 2 year old terminal diagnosis. I've been really struggling generally after the procedure. Main issues are complete lack of appetite leading to fatigue and weight loss : complete incontinence : abdominal pain : clotting leading to blockages and further incontinence.
I've read all of the supporting documentation and it all appears normal but I can't help thinking mine is extreme and it's been a week now whereas the info suggested a few days.
Just wondering what other people's experiences are. My first TURBT was nowhere near this bad.
Many thanks, Cindy
Hi Cinders73 . It can take a while to recover from a TURBT. For some it can last longer than others. The effects of the anaesthetic can linger. I felt really fatigued after my first one and my GP prescribed steroids which picked me up and gave me an appetite. There is always the possibility of an infection which can happen after a cystoscopy, so may be worthwhile getting a sample checked out. Best wishes.
