Need suggestion to deal post bladder biopsy

Dear Community,

I'm 37 year old and I need suggestions on how you have dealt with post bladder biopsy. I had Cystoscopy on 22 Feb 2021 and doctor performed 2 biopsy's in bladder. I had worst Day 1 with red / pink bleeding (for first 4 urinations) and then unbearable burning symptoms. Day 2 was considerably better but had burning sensation while urination like 2 blades running on both sides of penis. Also noticed light brown drops on my underwear when sitting . I'm guessing its brown blood , Day 3 has just started I could see some brown blood mixed in urine (like blood cloth). There is still burning everytime i pee but intensity has reduced. I think, I'm drinking decent fluid.

Am I recovering from this or the symptoms are going bad as there is still light brown blood? I'm not sure if this is how bladder heals and reacts to biopsy's. I do get mild pain in abdomen , assuming this is where the doctor performed bladder biopsy.

If you had any experience on how you have dealt with bladder biopsy, please share with me so I can reduce some suffering and also understand if this is abnormal or normal.

Also do I need to sleep to let bladder heal or can I stand or sit ? Sitting for long may be bad pressure on bladder.

Thanks for your suggestions.

    just keep drinking fluids and it will gradually get better, your bladder will be sore for a few days but will heal

    Thank you anthony and twiglet for advise .

    No my doctor only prescribed strong pain killer, but I havent taken them after initial few hours on Day 1. I'm not taking any medication .

    Its Day 4, still light blood in urine. The urine colour is odd sometimes purple/brown mixed in urine. Burning during urination still exists but a lot bearable than Day 1 or 2. I get mild pain in penis tip sometimes in day, guessing its because of bladder wound. If I drink lot of water in day, the color is not noticeable.

    I get mild pain in left abdomen when I sit for long time or on a recliner. I think it starts bleeding internally when i do due to pressure. I'm drinking water and occasionally barley water (once or twice a day).

    I haven't been informed to avoid any activity or number of days this will continue. I sleep on the side where it doesn't pain in abdomen. Thinking it may reduce pressure on bladder wound while sleeping Internet says 48 hours, I'm in day 4 😦. hoping this is normal.

    Do you know by when it becomes normal after bladder biopsy? does it take 10 days/ 2 weeks? Its certainly has not recovered in 2 days for me.
