Hi
i had a TURBT in oct last year and have had lots of after affects. I have to go to the toilet all the time but only can urinate small amounts. I get up at least 5 if not more times a night. I developed bile issues. Constipation all the time. I’ve tried everything but think it’s my abdominal muscles. I still have pain when I cough. Have to hold my lower stomach (just above my privates) when I cough. It’s been over 4 months. Having my checkup on Friday and am a little concerned. Anyone else have these issues post-op?
JP
Hi JP.
Sorry to hear this. Sounds like you're having a right old time of it. Are you drinking plenty of water ?
Have you had continuing treatment ?
I hope this is something they can sort out for you. You'll know more after your check up on friday. Tell them everything you've explained here as i'm sure they'll be able to help.
I've not had my TURPT yet (having it friday). Hopefully someone will come along that can relate to some of your symptoms and help a little.
All the best for now...Del.
Hi JP70. Sorry to hear about your ongoing discomfort. It is rare for people to go this long post TURBT with after effects, but we do see it here now and again. Hopefully your check on Friday will get to the bottom of the problem and get you some relief. Best wishes.
