Hello All
Has anyone experienced something similar?
I had a turbt on May 10th this year. Pathology revealed a nmibc 2 cm G2pta.
No chemo post op.
Ever since the procedure I have experienced pain / discomfort on urination. This varies in intensity but its always there.
I had a UTI 4 days post op, cleared up fine with antibiotics.
12 weeks post op I had another urinalysis due to UTI symptoms with blood +++ and leucocytes +++ on dipstick.
Urine culture was negative but there were very high leucocytes. No treatment given.
I had my 3 month cystoscopy which was clear.
My next one will be in 12 months.
But there are still blood and leucocytes on a urine dipstick along with the pain.
I spoke to the cancer nurses who didn't seem too perturbed.
I know its probably still healing, but it doesn't seem to be improving.
Hi Carravagio and welcome to the group although sorry to hear you are still having post op discomfort. In general it usually takes about six weeks for a TURBT wound to heal bit obviously there are exceptions. Have you been allocated a CNS (Clinical/Cancer Nurse Specialist) who are normally the best people to talk to with concerns ? Ln the meantime, are you drinking plenty of water to keep things flushed out? Best wishes.
