Is there a link between bladder cancer and over-active bladder?

Posted by birdieman @birdieman, Jul 29, 2022

I had bladder cancer but was fortunate enough to have the malignant lesion cut out before I got in real trouble. Then was blessed with no recurrence, verified by 16 follow up cystoscopies over the years. But I was left with bad OAB. Does anyone know if there is a clinical link between BC&OAB? Or even OAB and a high quantity of cystoscopies?

Correction. It wasn't TURPT procedure. Just cystectomy. Some may call it TURBT.

A TURP is an operation where they reduce the size of the prostate. I HAD MINE DONE SO THAT THE BCG TREATMENT WOULD REACH MY URETHRA AND PROSTATE.
