Two TURBT, an odd side effect

Hi all, 

I’ve had the tumour removed and a further TURBT to check it, I’m now about to undergo the BCG which I’m very relieved about .

There was the usual bleeding after the op for a couple of days but the worse thing is my penis is now bent. It has a small bend in the middle, like a dog leg.

It seems to be ok, although its not entirely comfortable. it’s now 7 weeks after the last op. Is this common, will it go back to how it was? 

Thank you

  • Hi  and a welcome to this friendly and supportive group. This does sound to be a bit unusual. I have been on here for a while now and can't remember anything similar, but we do occasionally hear of slight damage being done by the cystoscope. I would get it checked out to be on the safe side. Best wishes.

    Best wishes to All,   rily.

  • thank you, I’ve mentioned it to the nurses and I get a supportive Aw, but not sure who I’d mention it to.

  • Hi Peter, I would imagine the best route would be your consultant. Make a request to speak to them via the nurses at first and if no luck , I would call the consultants secretary to make an appointment. A supportive aw isnt helpful at all when you need an answer. Good luck and keep us updated 

    Much love Angela x

  • I've read of this bending before but not on here. I think your GP might be another source of help and info.

    All the best,
