Crystoscopy camera

I am to have a crystoscopy through the urethra and worried about the probe being the width of a pencil as I cannot see how my penis can possibly accommodate it.Do they have various sizes they use ? Any replies to stop my anxiety welcome.

Please calm down. The doctors for sure know what they are doing. I believe everything will turn out just fine!

Thanks kenster1 👍

Please calm down. Think about this... how do you think a woman gives birth to an 8lb baby? A scope is so easy

[Avagra in reply to jodaer]

I totally agree but being a pathetic male I’m not enjoying the best of health and can do without extra pain.

[jodaer]

If there is pain it will only last a few minutes. Mostly I think they say discomfort.

[Avagra in reply to jodaer]

Hi again that I understand but the size of the cystoscope and my small urethra is what’s causing concern.

[jodaer in reply to Avagra]

It will stretch. Tell your concerns to your doctor and ask if he can prescribe something to ease you,

my dad had bladder cancer and had these done several times. You are give a little local anaesthetic at the area to ensure you have as limited discomfort as possible. Please try not to worry they will look after you throughout the procedure. Take care

Thank you for this thoughtful reply 👍

[Avagra in reply to Avagra]

It’s me worrying about the size of the probe and thinking there will be different sizes surely as one can’t fit all 😄

Our minds like wander out of control sometimes😳 but remember deep breaths and it will all be over before you know 😉😄

I had that done last year, and was not looking forward to it at all, especially as I have phimosis (Tight Foreskin). It did not help watching many YouTube video's that would scare the life out of you regarding the procedure.

In the event it was not all that bad, about 10-15% bit of discomfort, which is very brief, (mere seconds) as it went in the urinary channel, bit like the dentist. Then didn't really feel it at all while the Doctor was inside the bladder for a good ten minutes looking around. Compassionate, kind, smiling nurse's standing by head, telling me to relax, and how it was going to be okay.

The Doctor will put in a bit of numbing gel, so that it will slide down the urethra easily. You can ask him to wait a few moments after the numbing gel goes in, before he put's the cystoscope inside, and he may or may not oblige. In my case, he went straight in, after applying the numbing gel.

If by chance the discomfort is unbearable during the procedure, let the Doctor know, so that he can adjust what he is doing.

But the sense of sheer and utter relief, after the procedure was over, was something else. Knowing for months the procedure had to get done at some stage, just getting it out of the way, was great.

Bite the bullet, get it done, so they can keep an eye on your internal health, would be my suggestion.
