Hello,
* There can be possible inflammation of the bladder musculature to some extent or involvement of sphincter through BCG vaccine intra vesically
* In my clinic, I recommend an evaluation with diagnostic cystoscopy for best results and management.
Primary relief with urinary alkaliser and analgesic with plenty of liquids.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
