A member asked:

Flexible cystoscopy for male..how small is the tube entering the penis hole? do they use lube so it goes in easy? does it hurt most patients?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Flex cysto: A very common urologic office procedure utilizing a soft flexible fiberoptic scope which is the same diameter as a typical urinary catheter. Xylocaine (lidocaine) jelly is introduced into the urethra about 5 minutes before the procedure. It typically pinches a bit only when the scope passes through the sphincter.
