Experiences with

Cystoscopy

The urologist who referred me for the Ultra sound scan and cystoscopy is now away until the 29th August however the NHS have sent me an appointment for the cystoscopy next Friday, 16th.

hi I had a flexible cystoscopy which shows plaque like patches - then had a rigid cystoscopy and biopsy was taken of one of the patches . Very worried as waiting for results from the macmillan urology nurse .

Having said all this, this cystoscopy was pretty painful and I had some bleeding, a couple clots in urine, and pain for a couple days. This was my fourth cystoscopy and the prior 3 pre salvage radiation had no or little pain and no blood.

I went for my flexible cystoscopy this morning. I was seen pretty quick and the doctors and nurses very sensative. The cystoscopy took less that 15 minutes and unfortunately they found a start of a tumor.

The Cystoscopy wasn’t as scary or uncomfortable as I had thought and Yes PMR Pro better than the dreaded smear test. Its great news. Thank you all for your support and kindness. It meant a lot. Xx

I had a flexible cystoscopy under local where there were some plaque like material in the lining of the bladder . The doctor said I would need to have a general anaesthetic and a rigid cystoscopy and bladder biopsy.

I received my hospital appointment and saw Urologist within the two weeks pathway, He decided on a Cystoscopy and I am having that Tomorrow. It’s a scary time but hopefully all will be well. Will let you know how it goes .

it may be because of the situation with my husband but I am really stressing out over the cystoscopy process tomorrow. Not the actual procedure but scared stiff if they find cancer or even cells of it. The ultra sound scan was normal and I suppose in my naivety I hoped that was the end of it .

Am pleased to say that the cystoscopy showed no irregularities, all clear and report now being forwarded to urologist . It's a tremendous relief for me and to be able to tell my husband and son they can now stop worrying.

MO wants me to order cystoscopy with urologists, but may see re straining at night when get up to go, not sure about cystoscopy yet though. Any recommendations given low psa? Thank you.

As I stand now I have my LAST BCG treatment this Thursday, that will be followed in six to eight weeks with a flexy cystoscopy.

I have had a cystoscopy and was told that everything looked normal and not suggestive of interstitial cystitis and they took some biopsies (waiting for results of those). I guess the point of this post is to ask if anyone is in a similar situation?

Here is an excerpt from the procedure: "Systematic cystoscopy was performed. This revealed diffuse tumor involvement of the bladder floor. This distorted the anatomy that without the indwelling ureteral stent, I would not be able to identify the right ureteral orifice.

Sorry, probably not the correct community, but to update, it would seem from the cystoscopy from which the consultant diagnosed as above, and the use of the estriol cream that things are improving.

Please don't get me wrong I am sure the GP is being robust in the recommendation for flexible cystoscopy but I could certainly do without having to have this under the current circumstances AND with a bit more clarification as to whether a UTI could indeed be responsible for the small traces of blood

Again, the oncologist feels this could be from the radiation, but my urologist has scheduled me for a cat scan and cystoscopy to rule out bladder cancer. Just when I was feeling good about things I get hit in the head with this.

After recurring UTIs and traces of blood in urine, a cystoscopy, an ultrasound on bladder and kidneys, I had an MRI scan yesterday. My last experience of the latter was in June 2022, when a dye was injected via canula into an artery.

I am due a cystoscopy but heard nothing yet - Fingers crossed I will get a Flexy first, all clear will be great, if not with go for a TURBT Cystoscopy. The difference is a flexy tube is smaller and dose not require either GA or Spinal.

There was a plan to do another laparoscopy with a cystoscopy to see what was causing frequent urination and other symptoms, was sent for a pelvic and spine MRI first which detected spondylolisthesis so being referred onto neuro to deal with that instead, it was suggested that this could be the cause

Had a urine test on Friday and call from Doctor says it shows blood again and he has put me on the fast track for a cystoscopy which means I must be seen within 2 weeks. Cancer was mentioned.
