Cystoscopy
What is Cystoscopy?
A cystoscopy is a procedure to check for problems in your bladder using a fibre-optic telescope (cystoscope). This will enable your doctor to visually examine the interior of your bladder.
Cystoscopy allows your doctor to look at areas of your bladder and urethra that is usually not well presented on X-rays.
When do you need this procedure?
Inform your doctor if you:
How is the procedure done?
This procedure is usually done under local anesthesia. You may eat or drink normally before the test unless instructed otherwise.
A urologist performs the cystoscopy. You will be asked to change into a gown. You will be asked to lie on an examination couch where your doctor will examine your bladder through your urethra.
An anaesthetic jelly will be applied into your urethra for comfort. After the anaesthetic takes effect, a well lubricated cystoscope is inserted into your urethra and slowly advanced into your bladder. As the cystoscope is inside your bladder, sterile saline is infused to expand your bladder to create a clear view. The procedure will take up to 10 minutes to be completed.
What will you feel during the procedure?
Risks
After the test
You may experience some burning sensation during and after urination for up to 6 hours. Do drink lots of fluid to minimize this burning sensation and to prevent a urinary tract infection.
A pinkish tinge to the urine is also common for several days after the cystoscopy particularly if a biopsy was performed.
