Issues after TURBT (female): Urgent urinary incontinence? Blood?

Posted by rafcer @rafcer, Feb 15 12:54pm

Had Turbt surgery 3 weeks ago. Problem now after 10 days of catheter removal I have urgent urinary incontinence. Going through many men size incontinence pads (I am female) how can you drink water to flush bladder if always having pressure?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Bladder Cancer Support Group.

Had first TURBT in Jan 2023. Easy recovery. 4 sessions of BCG. . Thought I had made my 2 years clear. Not to be. Another tumor removed on Dec 16th past. Been bleeding ever since, sometimes pink sometimes pale red. Doc, thru nurse, is not concerned but I am. Due for BCG rounds again next week. If bleeding I think having bacteria introduced is asking for problems?

I’m feeling down today after my 2nd TURBT, Dr found more high grade urothelial carcinoma (3x5x3x0.4) Smaller than Jan 27 (6cm) but I was hoping for none. I’m having more discomfort than first surgery. I don’t think I fully healed from first. Only med I’m on is Pyridium. Urination is frequent, spending $$$$ on depends and incontinence pads. Called Dr today for something for pain. My next appt is 3/20 to discuss surgery and options. I’m a 82 female.

There is a medication called Gemtessa that might be helpful
