A member asked:

Is urethroscopy painful? or are there any other harmful after effects?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Uncomfortable: The procedure itself is uncomfortable, but most MDS will give you something to relax (i.e. valium) because when you are anxious, pain is intensified. If it is necessary to be done to help you, get the scope done.
