Twoc removal

I got send home with a cather for 5 days. They gave me a day to go back on discharge for removal. It didnt hurt i was only there an hour did a big wee and they let me go home. It did take a good week or so though for things to get back to normal x

I had one for about a week which I was surprised as it was after second Turbt which I thought was going to be more straight forward. Anyway they tell you nothing and I only learned when I got there to have it removed that the bladder might not work straight away etc but it was fine they took it out and I managed to wee, had to drink a jug of water slowly while there but it was all OK. 

Thank you for info it is like drawing teeth trying to get info!

Thank you all this info helps settle the nerves!

Hi I’ve had several twocs after my turbt. What they do is take out the catheter which is painless and only takes seconds. They will send you home and tell you to drink a glass of water every hour and return to the hospital/ clinic later that day. If you can pass water on your own then that’s great but if not and you are experiencing pressure because you can pass then go back to the nurse who took it out. Then they will insert another catheter. Either way you will still need to go back to have a bladder  scan to see if your bladder is emptying properly and not retaining any urine. Don’t worry it’s a simple and painless procedure inserted or removed. Hope this puts your mind at rest. 

Many thanks it's great to know in advance
