I had a TURB on 4/13 to remove a papillary tumor and flat cell transitional cell carcinoma IS. Then, 6 BCG treatments to follow up and treat the transitional cell noninvasive carcinoma in situ.
Four days after the third treatment, I experienced a lot of bleeding and passed many very large clots over a twelve hour period -- very scary
, but that hasn't recurred, although I still see an occasional smal clot here and there.
Like most of you, the irritation and discomfort increased dramatically as I reached the fourth instillation, and still remains about the same nearly four weeks after the 6th treatment. Also a lot of pain and cramping in the urethra.
Lately I've noticed a little blood in my urine immediately following sexual activity or even just an erection. Is the bleeding elevated/aggravated by this activity or could it perhaps indicate problems in the urethra caused by all the cath infusions, cytoscopies (I've had several)? :-\
