Question 1

what is a ct cystogram?

Accepted Answer

Cystogram: A cystogram is an x-ray of the bladder taken following instillation of iodine contrast into the bladder via catheter. A ct cystogram is the same but uses cat scan rather than plain x-ray for more detailed imaging.

Question 2

what is the procedures to a cystogram?

Accepted Answer

A cystogram...: Is performed by radiology to assess the bladder. The exact procedure will vary depending on the reason for the exam. You will undress and wear a gown. A urinary catheter is placed with some lubricating jelly. The bladder is filled with radiocontrast dye. You may feel the urge to void during filling. X-rays will be taken of the bladder. You will be asked to void, then more images may be taken.

Question 3

what are features of a normal cystogram?

Accepted Answer

See below: Smooth, well supported bladder without reflux, filling defects or diverticula; bladder neck is competent and with voiding there is relaxation of the outlet and satisfactory bladder emptying.

Question 4

why do they need voiding cystograms in children?

Accepted Answer

See below: This is done to see if there is any problems with the ureters, which lead from the kidneys to the bladder. Some children with recurrent uti's may have reflux of the urine from the bladder toward the kidneys, which is abnormal.  However, the recommendation for obtaining this study has changed. It is not recommended as frequently any more.

Question 5

cystogram shows source of blood in bladder!?

Accepted Answer

Blood in bladder: A cystogram may show the cause of blood being present in the urine.  Additional test may be required such as cystoscopy - looking into the bladder with a small scope, ct scan of the kidneys and bladder, cultures, specialized test for bladder cancer, etc.  Some patient will have negative workups and just have a microscopic amount of blood noted on urinalysis when tested.

Question 6

does the urine/kidney test, the cystogram, break your hymen?

Accepted Answer

No: The study is done through the pee hole not your vagina.

Question 7

i had cystogram.  after 3 days i felt pain in scrotum so i ejaculated. but only few drops of water like fluid came out. is it normal after cystogram ?

Accepted Answer

Not really: Cystogram is an x-ray test not likely to cause your symptoms.  I would be more interested in why a young male needed a cystogram? I assume you are seeing a urologist.  If not, you may want to do so. The indications for cystogram are very narrow.

Question 8

what to do if i had a cystogram 6 days ago and now i have painful urination and blood when i orgasm what is the cause of this?

Accepted Answer

Likely a UTI: Not uncommon following a cystogram. Impossible to avoid pushing bacteria up urethra with catheter insertion. We add antibiotic (80mg gentamicin) to the Cystografin used for cystograms to prevent just such UTI. Advise to contact Dr who either ordered or performed procedure as you now need an appropriate antibiotic to treat your procedure caused UTI

Question 9

f 26. voiding cystogram for frequent urination, it showed a 1cm bladder diverticulum on rt side. waiting for urologist appt. what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Not serious: Bladder diverticuli are small out pouching or herniations of the bladder lining or mucosa through muscular bands of the bladder wall. Your diverticulum measures 1 cm, or less than 1/2 inch which is quite small and rarely of any significance at the size.   Your urologist will review your voiding habits with you.

Question 10
