A member asked:
If my doctor only wants to do a rigid cystoscopy, can't i request a flexible cystoscopy? is there much difference?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Flexible may be best: The National Institutes of Health has written that a study has concluded that with careful counselling and attention given to individual needs, the preference for flexible cystoscopy over rigid cystoscopy under general anaesthesia may approach 100%. You should find another doctor who will discuss your option for a flexible cystoscopy if your present doctor refuses to.
