Will incontinence after second TURBT surgery go away?

I just had my 2nd TURBT this week. Confirmed not muscle invasive. I do have high grade aggressive cancer. Last one was 7 weeks ago. 2 more tumors removed, scar tissue, and was able to get a piece of the muscle this time. Also instilled that chemo drug mytomycin. I go for CT scans a wk from Monday. Will start BCG in December after my bladder heals. This is a scary process. Every step of the way is an unknown. This Turbt has left me with some incontinence issues. All I do is urinate. It's only been three days. Hopefully it subsides.

Incontinence after TURBT is a common concern that many patients experience, and the good news is that it typically improves as the bladder heals over the coming days and weeks. The bladder tissue needs time to recover from the procedure, and frequent urination often decreases as inflammation subsides and normal bladder function returns. Many community members have shared similar experiences and found that staying patient during the healing process helps, so connecting with others here who understand this journey can provide valuable support and reassurance.

I also had incontinence issues after TURBT and it does subside with time but now I have started BCG therapy and have had two treatments out of a scheduled six but now I am urinating literally every 15 minutes. It is so bad I don’t know if I can complete my treatments. Has anyone else had this problem?
