Hi all - just wondering how long I need to be off work after my TURBT? Hard to plan! Thanks in advance 

  • Hi . It takes up to 6 weeks post TURBT for the wound to heal, depending on how severe the cut was. In general, you are not recommended to do anything for at least 2 weeks. Then take it easy. All depends on your job. You may feel fine, but remember there will be an internal wound that can be aggravated. It will sting a bit for a few days post TURBT when peeing, but gradually gets better. Then the anxious wait for results which determine the next step. Best wishes.

    Best wishes to All,   rily.
