Question 1

i've had meatotomy to be able to do cystoscopy, then i installed a catheter, now after catheter removal, urinte has 2 streams, and when i ejaculate it feels abnormal, little bit painful, with a little pain in testicles,could it be urethral stricture?

Accepted Answer

: Not unless your Urologist found one when doing cystoscopy, He should have explained his findings to you. More possible from healing of the meatotomy site which might need follow up visit or dilatation. Pl see your Urologist and ask questions. Good luck.

Question 2

i have issues with urinating. i currently have a catheter inserted. we have one doctor who said he would like me to undergo ct stonogram. we also went to another doctor for second opinion. he said he would perform cystoscopy. what is the difference?

Accepted Answer

: Both tests help to find the cause. Docs can differ in their sequence or use.

Question 3

i will be having a laparoscopy w/ cystoscopy for endo. it says that a pollock ureteric catheters. how are they inserted and what is their purpose? will having a cystoscopy with the lap lengthen recovery time?

Accepted Answer

: With a working diagnosis of "endo" (endometriosis ?) , the insertion of ureteric catheters via cystoscopy is done to identify ureters during the laparoscopic procedure, which may involve dissection near the uteters on the left and right, to avoid operative injury.  The cystoscopy will not appreciably influence operative time in an of itself.

Question 4

my father was done cystiscopy and has folly catheter for 10 days duration now removed folly but my father felt loss of control urination .?

Accepted Answer

Get evaluated.: After having a Foley catheter for over a week, the bladder could be irritated or inflamed, provoking bladder spasms. These spams are uncontrolled contractions of the bladder, and can lead to urinary leakage. This should improve with time. A urinary infection is also a possibility, which can provoke leakage and should be treated. See the urologist for evaluation.

Question 5

my husband had a cystiscopy he could not urinate so the dr put a folly catheter for 14 days they removed it and he still is not urinating properly onl?

Accepted Answer

Urologist: The yrologist who did the cystoscopy should be able to give an answer.

Question 6

can radiation prostatitis cause blood clots in urine?  i had 44 imrt, neurogenic bladder, self cathetarize, perineum pain and pass blood clots when self catheterizing. urologist ruled out bladder cancer, stones, uti.  getting a second cystoscopy soon?

Accepted Answer

: From what you've described it sounds like your urologist is managing this situation well and a second cystoscopy is warranted.  Radiation to the prostatic and pelvic region can be associated with blood in the urine, but it warrants further work up given your history of prostate cancer.

Question 7

does having a cystoscopy hurt?

Accepted Answer

Some discomfort: Cystoscopy involves placing a telescope into the bladder to make sure there aren't any abnormalities involving the inner surface or within the bladder.  The procedure is usually done in the office and utilizes a flexible scope which is much less uncomfortable than metal rigid scopes used in the past.  You may have some pressure and discomfort with insertion of the scope but lidocaine jelly is used

Question 8

how painful is cystoscopy procedure?

Accepted Answer

Bladder Envisioned: Cystoscopy, or a look in the bladder using a scope, can reveal the source of bleeding in the urine, pain in the bladder, weakness to the urine stream and other concerns.  Looking in with a flexible scope creates less pain; however, if a rigid scope is needed, most men are best evaluated under some anesthesia.  Expect burning for 1-2 days after the procedure and possibly some urgency to pe.

Question 9

how do i avoid pain from a cystoscopy?

Accepted Answer

Work with urologist: A cystoscopy is usually performed in the office. Local numbing gel should be placed in the urethra. Discomfort occurs when the scope passes across the urinary sphincter, and if the bladder overfills with the irrigation. Communicate with your urologist, making sure to let them know if you are having pain. Try to relax, maybe bring headphones and listen to music. Many do tolerate this well.

Question 10

what are the risk factor for cystoscopy?

Accepted Answer

Minimal?: There are always risks with any procedure(perforation, post procedure infection, post procedure cramping) but with a trained ob/gyn these should be kept to the barest minimal.  Best to discuss this with your doctor so as to be well aware of what is going to occur; forewarned is forearmed.
