Hi all

Having had first TURBT a month ago i had no blood in urine when weeing but today the blood has come back , is this a concern or is it common after a month ? Do i need to get in touch with urology?

Best wishes

Dave

  • Hi dave good to hear from you again. Sorry to hear there is blood back in the urine. I haven't experienced this myself and I had my turbt back in November but from reading other posts over the months it seems to be a common thing. I would contact the hospital and tell them your concerns. Don't put it off hoping it will go away. 

    Best wishes dave

  • Good morning Aston63. Your question is raised frequently and many of us find the bleeding after few weeks after TURBT a bit of a surprise. I’m told it’s the removal of scabs and debris after the procedure often with blood clots . It is regarded as normal but if you have any concerns then contact your urology department , regards John.

  • Hi Mark 

    Yes i did see that it was common but I'm going to contact urology now just to be on the safe side. 

    Cheers Mark 

  • Hi

    Thank you for that info, I'm hoping it is just what you say it is. The blood was quite thick like treacle almost .

  • Treacle is about right with maybe little bits of cornflakes .

  •  . Hi Mark. In the meantime, make sure you are drinking plenty of water to flush things out. Best wishes.

    Best wishes to All,   rily.

  • I have had three TURBT and this happened three times. Can be quiet painful as clots and stuff find there way out. It is a very sensitive bit of kit down there and it takes time to heal up. I am sure you will be fine but if you get a lot of bright red blood I would go to Docs.   

  • Hi

    Just an update guys , the clot eventually came out was painful to say the least and now weeing clear again now. I didn't go to A&E in the end for the dreaded 12 hout wait. 

    Thanks for the support and info yesterday , you guys are amazing and class as my extended family. 

    Best wishes to all

  • That's good dave. My turbt was back in November I've been lucky to have had no issues but every pee I do I still check. Keep the fluids going and keep flushing
