Can a cystoscope show if i have an enlarged prostate?

Yes...: Yes. But an enlarged prostate does not always cause trouble in urination; on the other hand, a smaller one doesn't guarantee no voiding trouble. Bottom line is how the bladder neck and prostate urethra relax and open smoothly or not at the time to pee. So, in practice, routine cystoscopy is not needed, but may be required to rule out urethral stricture for failing to response to medical treatment.

Too young for it: Prostate enlargement is a problem of later years, starting at 50 years of age and causing symptoms in your 60s. You do not need a cystoscopy to check its size, it is beat done with a physicians finger in the rectum.
