Hi every one I found this group whilst searching the net about how long does the post TURBT pain last for. I had mine 29th Jan 2020 although no longer stinging it's a real dull ache/ pain when I urinate.

I have read other posts with sufferers stating that they are having another cystoscopy check that all is well...is that a common thing as I cant bear going through this pain again....yes I know I need to man up I am an emotion whimp when it comes to my pain ‍

  • Hello Pops40101

    Sorry to hear that you've been dealing with some after effects from your recent procedure. It's possible that things may continue to be uncomfortable for a few days or so yet but do speak to your GP or nurse specialist if you're still concerned. 

    Your Consultant or nurse will be best placed to advice you if another cystoscopy will be needed. You will also be able to discuss pain relief with them if they feel that another one is necessary. 

    I hope things settle for you soon. 

    Best wishes,

    Hi Pops40101 

    I had a TURBT done in December last year I too had a fair amount of pain but I'm the complete opposite to you I have a high pain threshold but still mentioned it to my Macmillan nurse she said it will subside after a few days or so, I guess they think everyone is the same after having that surgery done, but we're not are we, if it hasn't dulled down after peeing don't hesitate see your doctor it may be you have picked up an infection like I did. 

Speak to a nurse
