Why Cystoscopy Is Needed

Cystoscopy is performed to investigate unexplained blood in the urine, recurrent urinary tract infections, suspected bladder stones, or bladder cancer screening in high-risk patients. It's also used to evaluate chronic pelvic pain, urinary incontinence, or difficulty urinating when the cause isn't clear from other tests.

Signs You May Need Cystoscopy

Blood in the urine, persistent burning or pain during urination, frequent urinary tract infections, or a sudden change in urinary stream and frequency are common symptoms that lead a urologist to recommend cystoscopy. Unexplained pelvic pain or difficulty emptying the bladder fully can also warrant this direct examination.

Types of Cystoscopy

Flexible cystoscopy, using a bendable scope under local anesthesia, is generally used for diagnostic purposes and is more comfortable for the patient. Rigid cystoscopy, requiring spinal or general anesthesia, allows for more extensive procedures like removing bladder stones, taking larger biopsies, or performing minor surgical treatments within the bladder.

Do I need antibiotics after cystoscopy?
