Yes. For me the blood would last for several hours and the burning/ urgency for several more. This is GOOD since it indicates that your immune system is kicking up and trying to rid your bladder of any “bad” cells. Drinking a lot of water should help.

Had my third BCG today, and felt fine. Came home and took a nap, when I got up to pee, there was and still is blood in my urine and burning sensation like cystitis. Called the dr and he said its normal for a lot of people and to call back if the pain gets worse. Has this happened to any of you? So disheartening.
