First TURB 33F
Hello everyone,
I am pretty scared, during an abdominal ultrasound they found a 3/5mm tumor/polyp in my bladder (found by surprise) I had no symptoms (one UTI a mont before the ultra that went away fast with 3 day antibiotics, was my second UTI in my whole life).
After that I went to a cytoscopy and they show the polyp so I am scheduled for surgery in couple of weeks. The doctors didn’t seem so concerned but I can’t believe this is happening, I am a healthy person who doesn’t drink (very rare) or smokes, I do sports and my only weakness is sweets one or twice a week. Anyway. I am an hypochondriac and I am terrified.
The cytoscopy was fine, not really painful or anything, a Pap smear feels worse.
This TURB, what will I expect? I read mostly results about men, how is going to be for a female? I am scared of the pain, the recover (the idea of having a catheter and peeing myself is terrifying (if my uretra gets damage or something).
And of course the scariest part is to know what that polyp is… good or bad 🫠
Thanks a lot for the help!
