Question

My partner has bladder cancer and when he urines it stings. Can I ask if this is normal. 

He got diagnosed at the end of September this year. 

He has already had surgery but that was also in September. 

  • Hello Gymbabe and welcome to the forum.

    I'm sorry to hear your partner is experiencing painful urination at the moment. Have you or your partner contacted his medical team to let them know this is happening? If you haven't done so yet do make sure you have a chat with them about it as they will be in the best position to answer your question and give you the information and advice you need to cope with this issue. Our cancer nurses are also available to chat to next week and you can call them on 0808 800 4040 (freephone), Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m

    Hopefully other members who have experience of bladder cancer will be along soon to share their experiences with you but in the meantime I have included a link to the section we have on our website about bladder cancer which I hope you will find useful as well.

    Best wishes to you both,
