Can cystoscopy cause urinary incontinence in women?

No: Cystoscopy is simply a technique to view the inside of the bladder with a video camera. It would not cause incontinence but may be part of the evaluation of incontinence in some patients.

Usually no: It should not. It is extremely unlikely to cause damage with the cystoscope to the bladder in the hands of a trained and experienced urogynecologist or a urologist.

Generally no: Cystoscopy can be used in the evaluation of urinary incontinence, but is not generally known to cause incontinence itself.

No: Not usually. Every procedure has risks. Rarely you can get a temporary incontinence or urinary retention from cystoscopy. Even more rarely could damage be caused to the urethra that would cause a permanent incontinence
