- I am now two years post my 2d round of non invasive bladder cancer and receiving BCG every 6 months .
- about a week after my scope (no tumors found) my bladder starts acting up and my pee becomes cloudy.
- It hurts to pee and and feels like a UTI but urine test shows no infection but very elevated red (80) and white (500) blood cells
- It feels very similar to what it feels like after I get a BCG treatment with some blood and visible debris when I urinate .
- this has happened the last 3 times I had a scope in between treatments.
Just wondering if anyone else has this happen and
any suggestions for calming the bladder besides lots of water ?
Hi Steve H:
My suggestion would be to contact your family doctor or uro and get rechecked for a UTI. Cloudy urine is nearly always indicative of a UTI. Same for burning when you pee. I nearly always get UTIs after a cysto so now when I got for checkups I ask my uro for an antibiotic ahead of time. The nurse brings me a Cipro pill to take just prior to the exam. It seems to work because I’ve been infection free for nearly a year.
Failing that and if a UTI is still not detected I think that your uro needs to investigate further.
I found after BCG treatments my bladder is spastic for some time after the treatments are completed. To calm my irritated bladder I find putting a warm hot water bottle or heating pad on my tummy helps a lot. So does acupuncture treatments.
Hope this helps. ((((HUGS))))
