In Office Cystoscopy 

I had this procedure done with no one else in the room. The doctor prepped me went out of the room, came back in five minutes and finished procedure, he said no one else in the room is necessary. That made me feel more comfortable and trusting.

thanks doctor. this was really informative.

I had bladder cancer and have probably had forty of these done. Advise my urologist gave me is priceless, make sure you keep breathing (don't hold your breath) and don't clench your butt cheeks. They always inject numbing/lubricating gel. While being uncomfortable it has never been painful.

Thank you, that was very comforting. I feel better now, I had a nightmare last night about this procedure, even thought I'm a male, I hope the doctor is similar to you.

Thank you for posting!

Thanks for making this video. I'm going to have one of these tomorrow, and this really helped me feel a little more at-ease about it.

I had two of the procedures. Worst experience of my life. When I woke up in recovery I could no longer pee. Severe pain in the abdomen that traveled up to my kidneys. Hours passed and no help. I was ready to find something sharp and stab myself in the bladder. I passed out on the floor while trying to pee with the severe massive pain. But finally a nurse there asked me if she could try to catheterize me. I begged her too. She did with a small red rubber tube and and was able to drain my bladder. Just a big tray of blood and clots. Pain was all gone. She as my guardian angel. But it didn't last. A few hours later my bladder was full again with the severe pain returning. She did it again 3 more times until I finally exploded all over the bed. I had no control anymore. I had to be hospitalized for 4 days because I got a Cystoscopy. Now I have a bladder stone and my urologist wants to do a scope. I can't do it. I'll die first. I'm on blood thinners due to a heart attack. This is just a long story short.

This procedure isn't as bad as you think it's a little painful but only a minute or two. Urodynamics is a much more difficult procedure in my opinion.

I had my second scope this morning. Pain was off the charts each time. Now I am peeing razor blades even with the "pain" meds. I am too scared to pee now it hurts so bad.

Christimd hey miss may I ask question had my cystocpsy done everything is good nothing has been found abnormalities everything is good but how to deal with burning sensation while peeing and urine blood and seman blood is this normal after this procedure

Very helpful, I gotta get one done tomorrow :( but thank you for clearing my mind

I'm getting this done tomorrow & I am a bit nervous. Thank you for the short, consise video regarding the procedure.

I will get a cystoscopy January 12 of 2023, so will I be given anasthesia and antibiotics if I get a UTI?

I have mine scheduled for the first of February..so scared

I wish you were my urologist..such a calming bedside manner ❤️

does cystoscopy more than once cause side effects?

What would cause the burning? Do patients ever take longer than 5 minutes? Under what situations?

i have OVeractive bladder i pee alot im 29 years old. My doctor tell me to do cycstocopy. do you guys have OAB too? How much it cost without insurance?

This does not hurt! Uncomfortable maybe while the insertion of the scope, that’s it

Do they remove a pollop while there in the bladder?

I'm having a cystoscopy and urethral dilation next month. I have IC as well. I had at least three of these done back in the 80s and they literally felt like I was being examined with a knife. The pain during the procedure was excruciating and I hurt (and bled) for days afterward. I'm hoping the scopes have changed since then. I'm concerned about that pain happening again but I have to do it before I have the dilation. My doc assured me it will be a little uncomfortable but not like in the past so I hope he's right.

What do you give for the burning so I could ask my dr

I am getting a cystoscopy January 12 of 2023. Will I receive anasthesia and will u receive antibiotics if I have a UTI from the medical procedure?

Did you ever had one done on you?

I have had 2 UTI's in 2 months with blood in the urine. I am having a scope tomorrow. Can you bleed from a UTI infection?

Your video dose help..Im 42 years old and get alot of infections I also get kidney stones my right under my belly button...but on the sides hurt. And I infrequently go to pee but Im always hurting especially at night.What should I ask my doctor when I see him? Do I ask if I have cancer? Are these signs of cancer?

Why yall don't put people to sleep for it?

I'm having it done this morning. And im a little afraid yet brave.

This was the worse office procedure I have ever experienced in my life. If your doctor is inflicting pain, not discomfort but pain, they should be listening to you when you tell them to stop. The self-designated urologist didn't listen when I told her that the scope was sharp on one side and to STOP! She blamed me for the pain and said I clamped down on the scope. If that were true, then there would have been pain all the way around the insertion, not just on one side. The side that she hurt with the scope did bleed and did so for over a week. It's my guess that the scope had a burr on the metal that caused an abrasion or cut with the pain and bleeding. She didn't even have enough common sense to back off with the scope and check it for one, she just barged ahead. I watched her assistant clean up that scope when she was through with it and she banged it twice on the stainless steel sink. I said that it shouldn't be used again until it was retooled because her doing what she did just put a burr in the metal. She ignored me and went on. My friend makes surgical equipment and I remember him telling me in particular that these scopes are fragile and can't take being banged like that let alone dropped because you will cause a burr on the metal that will cut and injure the patient. The surface he said had to be as smooth as wet glass and this scope definitely wasn't. I will NEVER GO BACK TO HAVE ONE OF THESE DONE AGAIN! This injury has caused scar tissue and I am left with the aftermath of not voiding as well as I did before this "doctor" did the damage she has done. I would never recommend this procedure to anyone. And to say it isn't painful, I would say that is a lie too. 😠😠😠😠

oh there's no way in hell.Thanks for letting me know what this is. But uh uh

It’s amazing how the people doing the procedure all say patient may have mild discomfort whilst the people having hose rammed up penis etc all complain it is agonizing,go figure someone is lying

So let’s smile and talk sweetly. Only 5 minutes…5 minutes of traumatizing pain…and then we send you on your way! Why downplay the pain?

This is all lies it is very painful and distressing not fun at all
