Introduction to Cystoscopy

Cystoscopy is a common diagnostic procedure performed by Bowling Orthopaedics, a trusted name in urology. As a leading healthcare provider in the field, we offer comprehensive services to diagnose and treat various urological conditions. Through cystoscopy, our skilled medical professionals can examine the bladder and urethra using a specialized instrument called a cystoscope.

How Cystoscopy Works

During a cystoscopy, the patient will be positioned comfortably, and a local anesthetic may be applied to minimize any discomfort. The cystoscope, a slender tube with a light and camera at the tip, will be gently inserted into the urethra and moved up into the bladder. This allows our urologist to visually inspect the interior of the bladder for potential abnormalities, such as stones, tumors, or infections.

Conditions Diagnosed with Cystoscopy

Cystoscopy plays a crucial role in diagnosing a wide range of urological conditions. Some of the common conditions detected through cystoscopy include:

  • Bladder Infections: Cystoscopy helps identify the source of recurring urinary tract infections and allows for targeted treatment.
  • Bladder Stones: By visualizing the bladder, our urologists can detect and remove bladder stones, relieving symptoms and preventing complications.
  • Bladder Tumors: Cystoscopy aids in the detection of bladder tumors, enabling timely interventions such as biopsies or removal.
  • Urethral Strictures: Narrowing of the urethra can be identified through cystoscopy, allowing for appropriate treatment options.
  • Urethral Diverticula: Cystoscopy helps diagnose and evaluate urethral diverticula, which are pouch-like structures in the urethra.
  • Interstitial Cystitis: Examination of the bladder lining through cystoscopy aids in diagnosing interstitial cystitis, a chronic inflammatory condition.

Preparing for Cystoscopy

Proper preparation is essential to ensure a successful cystoscopy procedure. Our team will provide you with detailed instructions, which may include:

  • Dietary Restrictions: You may be asked to avoid certain foods and drinks before the procedure.
  • Medication Adjustments: Our medical professionals will guide you on any necessary adjustments to your medication regimen.
  • Arranging Transportation: As the procedure may involve mild sedation, arranging transportation to and from our facility is advisable.

Recovering from Cystoscopy

Following your cystoscopy, our urologist will provide post-procedure instructions based on your specific case. While recovery times may vary, most patients can expect:

  • Minor Discomfort: You may experience mild discomfort, such as urinary frequency or a burning sensation, which should subside within a few days.
  • Hydration: Staying well-hydrated and avoiding caffeine can help flush out any residual effects of the procedure.
  • Return to Normal Activities: In most cases, you can resume your regular activities within a day or two after the procedure.
