Post TURBT bleeding

Hi Ronh . It is not uncommon to see small amounts of blood following a TURBT. Bear in mind it is a wound. You are right to drink lots of water to keep things flushed out. Something they do not usually tell you is that about the two week mark, the scab on the wound starts to break away as part of the normal healing process so you may see some more blood and  small clots passing. As always, if things do not get better or get worse, then seek medical advice. Best wishes.

Hi Ron, it sounds like you've got through everything very well indeed. Glad the treatment has all been so prompt, it's often waiting around that causes the most stress. it's still very recent after the TURBT so some residual bleeding while healing seems pretty much normal. to me. But I am not a medic, so if you are at all concerned you could phone the urology department maybe? I'm guessing the hospital will be calling you for a further appointment when they will give you the biopsy results. In my NHS experience these results take at least 2 weeks to come through and be discussed by the multidisciplinary team, so the consultant you see will be able to offer you treatment options. Until then distraction is the best policy. In my house this means easy-watch tele, and top quality cake. Sending you best wishes. Let us know how things go? Love Hx

Hi rily, any winners for us to be toasting tonight? 

Just home. One little winner. Very satisfying picking your money from the bookies. Really good day though with great atmosphere. Best wishes.

Hello Ronh, as other posts and your reading of the literature indicate, some bleeding following a TURBT is quite common but there are variations in how the blood presents. My two TURBTs in 2018 followed radiotherapy the previous year. The resulting scar tissue has tended to bleed now and then ever since e.g. in 2025 I had 34 occurrences and this year there's been 10 so far. The main advice is to keep your medical team informed so that they can react appropriately. Having mainly clear P after your recent TURBT is a good sign but consult your GP or medical team if you have any concerns. Generally, drinking at least 2 litres of water per day is the advice my medics give to alleviate mild bleeding and/or mild soreness. Best wishes.  Ray    

When I was a little girl (about 70 years ago) my uncle and aunt took me to the races. Possibly Ascot but memory fails. My uncle placed his bets with the bookies standing on orange boxes doing tic tac and called Honest Joe etc. My aunt and I had to go to the TOTE to place our bets which was considered more respectable It is a very sweet family memory. Glad you made it and many more.Hx
