Bladder Cancer Surgery & TURBT Explained by Dr. Abhay Kumar

Bladder cancer is a common and serious concern in urology, especially in older adults. It typically manifests through symptoms like blood in urine, painful urination, and frequent urination, which should never be ignored. If left untreated, bladder cancer can spread, making early detection essential for improving outcomes and treatment success. In this comprehensive video, Dr. Abhay Kumar, a Consultant Urologist and Uro-oncologist at Narayana Multispeciality Hospital, Howrah, explains everything you need to know about bladder cancer. From the causes and symptoms to the highly effective treatment options, including the minimally invasive procedure Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor (TURBT), Dr. Kumar provides detailed insights into managing this condition. What is Bladder Cancer? Bladder cancer occurs when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably within the bladder, which is a crucial organ in the urinary system. It can be caused by several risk factors, including smoking, chemical exposure, and infections. The most obvious symptom of bladder cancer is blood in the urine, also known as hematuria, which should prompt a visit to the doctor. Key Symptoms of Bladder Cancer: Blood in Urine (Hematuria): This is the most significant and common symptom. It may be visible or microscopic and should never be overlooked. Painful Urination: Discomfort or pain during urination is often reported by bladder cancer patients. Frequent Urination: Needing to urinate more often than usual, especially at night. Lower Back Pain: This may occur if the cancer has spread to surrounding tissues. Fatigue & Unexplained Weight Loss: These are more general symptoms of cancer, signaling the need for early intervention. The TURBT Procedure for Bladder Cancer Treatment: When bladder cancer is diagnosed, the next step is to remove the tumor. Dr. Abhay Kumar talks about the TURBT procedure, a minimally invasive surgery that is performed through the urethra to remove bladder tumors. This surgery allows for a fast recovery, typically within a day, and minimizes the risks associated with larger surgeries. TURBT is often the first line of treatment, especially for early-stage bladder cancer. Recovery After TURBT: Patients generally recover quickly after undergoing TURBT. Most are able to resume normal activities in a short time, but it is important to attend follow-up appointments to monitor for any recurrence of cancer. Dr. Kumar highlights the importance of regular screenings even after treatment to ensure the best outcomes. Why Early Diagnosis and Treatment Matter: Early detection is the key to successful treatment. The sooner bladder cancer is detected, the more treatment options are available, and the better the prognosis. Dr. Kumar stresses the importance of paying attention to warning signs like blood in urine and seeking medical advice as soon as possible.
