Hi again any thoughts on how long pain lasts after urination post TURBT? I’m on day 5 and still painful when I’m completing urination. Is this normal? and I’m just being inpatient?
Hi John, not too sure but think it depends on each individual, it should be up to around 10 days whist the bladder heals and two weeks to normal activity's, had mine done 10 days ago and still problems with pain ect, remember to drink plenty of fluids, good luck for a speedy recovery.
Hi . It usually takes 4-5 days for things to start easing off but for some people it can take longer. If it doesn't ease off it might be worthwhile being checked for any infection. In the meantime keep drinking lots of water to keep things flushed out. Best wishes.
Hi John61
I had my first TURBT 5 days ago and it still stings to pee
I am also really tired, how about you?
Best wishes Tina X
Hi Tina
Yes same here and still seeing some blood in my urine. Hoping it starts to ease soon for you too!

Hopefully we will both start to feel a bit better soon
Yes I’m sure we will I keep reminding myself it’s only been 5 days!
Hi John61,
On my 2nd TURBT (11th February) and it took me a couple of weeks after my 1st one and I'm two weeks in on my second one and it can sting still.
I was seeing flakes and bits of something in my wee for around two weeks after my 1st op. Not so much after my second one, but had a lot more scrapped during my first operation.
Hopefully you'll be back to normal soon
