What Is A Cystoscopy?

Cystoscopy is a diagnostic procedure done for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the urinary tract system. It is done by a urologist with an instrument called a cystoscope. The instrument is fitted with a small lighted tube and a camera that helps to see the urinary organs.

When Cystoscopy Is Done?

Cystoscopy is ordered for the diagnosis of several health problems related to the urinary system. It is done in the following cases:

• It is done if a person suffers from bladder problems such as unable to empty the bladder or unable to control the flow of urine
• Stones in the urinary tract
• Passing blood while urinating

A cystoscope is also used for treating various conditions such as:

• Taking urine samples from ureters
• Injecting a dye to track urine flow during an X-ray
• Injecting medicine for treating urinary problems
• Removing a stent placed for treating the earlier problem in the urinary tract
• Removing stones and small outgrowths from the urinary tract
• Taking a sample of small tissue for further diagnostic procedures

What Preparation Is Needed For A Cystoscopy?

Cystoscopy is mostly done in the outpatient unit but in some cases, the patient has to stay overnight.

In most cases, the doctor applies a gel to numb the area. But, if cystoscopy is done for a more invasive treatment, general anaesthesia may be given to the patient.
