Cystoscopy Experiences?

Anyone have experience? I read today cystoscope, I like try that once. But this examination need real doctor. It would be very nice to see inside my body. Anyone else like to try?

I was cystoscoped once, but was put under sedation first, so unfortunately remember nothing about it! I gather that there is a difference between flexible and rigid cystoscopes - the latter is apparently quite brutal.

I had a cystoscopy about a month ago. I had undergone one over 10 years before so I knew pretty much what to expect. The first one had been done in a surgical type room. I had heart, BP, blood oxygen monitors on and had to completely undress and put my legs in knee support leg rests, real surgical.

This time, the procedure would take place in the urologist's (same MD as first one) office. I was fairly nervous and the nurse could tell I think when she took me back to the room which was a normal exam room. She said for me to undress from the waist down and get up on the table and she left the room so I could do that. I covered my lap with the sheet she left for me and when she returned a few minutes later she told me she was going to get me in the stirrups and prep me for the procedure.

Once I was situated in the normal stirrups at the end of the table, she told me that she was going to wash my vulva and numb me with a shot (no needle) of lydocaine before the doctor joined us. I opened my legs as the nurse rolled up close to me and warned me she was going to touch me. As I felt her spread my folds I prepared myself for the wiping/cleaning of the eurthral area. During the cysto I had gotten in the past, my clitoris had accidently been brushed against during the cleaning so I was trying to prepare myself for that to happen again. This time it wasn't touched at all. The anethstetic was injected into my bladder and she left me there in the stirrups, alone in the room, to wait for the numbness to take affect.

My sock covered feet began to get sore being in the stirrups for almost 10 minutes, waiting for the doctor to come into the room. I wasn't allowed to move because the sterile instruments were just below the table, under my bottom.

Finally the nurse came back in with the doctor and he greeted me. We exchanged a few pleasantries which is strange when you are in a compromising position, but he put me at ease, then he rolled down to the end of the table. While I was waiting I had moved my legs around some so I took a deep breath and spread my legs for him as he parked himself down there. He pushed the sheet covering my upraised knees down into my lap and I could see him if I wanted to look up.

I felt him hold me open and then the insertion of the scope. It hurt. The first time I hadn't had much sensation of the instrument sliding into my body, but this time I groaned and lifted my head off the table. I could feel the scope moving around inside me, that didn't hurt, but where it had entered me was hurting. I managed to stand the pain though and he was soon gently removing the scope. He told me what he had seen and prescribed what I needed, then he was gone.

The nurse got me up and gave me some tissues to clean myself up. For almost 48 hours after the procedure it felt like I was pissing razor blades.

Cystoscopy is a very invasive procedure. I dreaded it, but I looked forward to it also...having my legs spread, having something inserted.

I had blood in my urine a few years ago. I went to my GP who examined me and recommended me to a urologist. The urologist {male} first asked me many questions about my history and then asked to me to remove my pants and boxers. First he examined my penis and scrotum and then testicles. He then explained to me that he was going to do a cystoscopy. I layed down on the table and he first put a clamp on the tip of my penis and then he numbed it. After about five minutes he inserted the cystoscope which really did not hurt until he pulled it out. The process took less than a minute. However he saw some poloyps in my bladder. He told me that I needed to have them removed asap. About a week later I was in the hospital and the doctor removed them.

The operation was similar to the cystoscopy but I was given general anesthesia and did not feel anything. The next few days it burned when I had to urinate. He insists that I return every six months for a cystoscopy. I go back as he asks and so far so good.

After the cystoscopy too for the first couple of hours it does burn a little.

But my experience at the urologist is very professional. The nurses {female} just ask a few questions and instruct me to go to the bathroom for a urine specimen and prepare the room but they are not present during the exam.

You had a urodynamic study done first, which tests bladder function and capacities, which is usually painless because the catheter/transducer that's inserted into the bladder is quite small. The other wire is a rectal; transducer that's inserted into the rectum, to measure muscle contractions. But to have urodynamics AND a scope done at the same time, back to back! love it! I've had both done, each urodyanmic test was wild, and i;ve had 2 flexible scopes... they weren't painful, and I found the peeing of razor blades AFTER the scope to be a nuisance. Strangely, I am craving a RIGID cystoscopy.... the ultimate in urethral violation.

Jusrt before christmas i went down with a UTI, 😢 went to the docs and she put me on antibiotics that cleared that up. BUT because i had cancer a year ago the doc said that I will have to go to the hospital for more tests, i had ultrsound on my bladder, to see it I empted it fully, ( i did not) a flow test, and now they are going to do a Cystoscope to check inside the bladder just in case. They say I will need some Pain killing tablets for when I get home. Have been told I will be awake when this is going on. :😃 Will let you know how I get on after this.

should pee like a horse after this 😃

A cystoscope with a modern flexible instrument is a piece of cake. These devices are tiny at about 18 Fr and very much more comfortable than the older rigid instruments. The rigid ones are required for surgical applications, but you are usually out or given so many happy pills that you don't care what they shove in you.

Also, I find that the pills one is given post-procedure to make "urination less painful", actually make it more painful.

I had a cystocopy about five years ago. I'd been passing blood in my urine and the test was one of several different diagnostic procedures done to find the cause. Mine was an outpatient procedure done in the urologist's office and took about an hour from start to finish. I had to take an antibiotic pill (Cipro?) first. Then strip from the waist down and climb up on the table which had raised stirrups of sorts for my knees. My butt hung over the edge of the table where there was a basin of sorts to catch any leakage. The nurse applied a dab of local anesthetic to the head and opening of my penis, then used a syringe body without the needle to inject a larger dose of the anesthetic into my urethra. My penis went numb almost instantly. After a few minutes the doctor came in and inserted the scope. There was more burring than I expected but I would only characterise the feeling as uncomfortable. The scope slides in all the way past the prostate into the bladder, which is filled with water to improve his view. I could watch the whole thing on the TV monitor thanks to the fiber optics in the scope. This provided a distraction from the discomfort. The water that he injects you simply allow to pass back out around the scope and into the basin under the edge of the table. The examination proceeds as the scope is withdrawn, and its all captured on video for viewing later for followup if necessary. The only bad part was afterwards when for the next several days it felt like i was peeing razor blades no matter now much pain medication I took. Test results were negative for the really bad stuff. Apparently the blood was residual from passing a kidney stone. Not a bad experience, but one I would not wish to repeat. Perhaps other urologists have a different procedure that would be more comfortable. Good luck.

I had my cystoscopy in operating theater where there was a gang still clearing up from previous procedure. So they get me on the table flat on back and pull my gown up to my neck. I am nude from the shoulders in front of the 4 in my team- two males and two females- and the clean-up gang of 3 guys and 4 females. They all look me over and I start to go stiff. Which amuses a couple of the cleaners. Unfortunately the doctor comes is and distracts me by starting the procedure. Best part though is that he has his medical secretary with him, all gowned up. I know her quite well and it is great to see her lwatching my cock throughout the op. Can't wait to talk to her in the office again knowing that she has seen me nude. !

As a sequel to my cystoscopy with the doc's secretary watching, the very best part of course was two weeks later at my follow-up appointment with the consultant, and there was Ms. Anne herself very clinical and smart behind her desk. Naturally I start chatting- no-one else in the room- about how I'm glad to have more clothes on this time etc etc. Oh she says I see a lot of Dr Adam's patients in theater. Don't you just love that "in theater”. What she means is "stark naked and with a scope being pushed up their dick", and she knows that I know that’s what she means ! Wow, some gal this one- mid-thirties I guess, not married but sure she has a partner.

I have another objective now which is that she witnesses me being examined in stirrups. A nice lithotomy position will give her a total view of my bumhole winking at her and my dick & balls flopping down. It’s unlikely but doc does want to see me in six months. Will he want to do another inspection ? Could it be in stirrups, and would he get her attending ? A guy can dream !

I have been having testicular pain and urination problems and I have to see a urologist soon. I have never seen a urologist befor and have never had these kind of problems before. I am scared to death and hope I don't have to have this done. I am a pretty nervious guy and a big baby when it comes to pain and if I have to have it done I definately want to be put to sleep or at least sedated where I am awake but dont care what is happening to me. I just hope that they get me all preped and have an attractive female nurse clean me and numb me before they knock me out.

Does anyone know if they give you the option of getting laughing gas for a cysosocopy or do they just put you completely asleep? I would prefer to be given a local and just laughing gas to calm me and relax my nerves. There seems to be less side effects and less recovery time with nirtous oxide then with general anathesia. I wont let them do it with just a local. I am a big baby when I comes to pain and discomfort. Has anyone ever had laughing gas for a cystoscopy? If I request to have the just the local and laughing gas will they do it?

I had one recently and it was done with just a numbing agent. The procedure was very uncomfortable since they were sticking a camera up your urethra and pumping in sterile water to fill your bladder. The biggest moments of discomfort are when they first stick it in and when it has to negotiate the bend through the prostate. Fortunately it's was a short procedure (maybe 2 minutes) and while there was some lingering discomfort immediately afterwards, I felt completely fine by the following day (in fact I was pretty much fine later that day). The insertion was definitely worse (at least for me) than the removal.

There was no offer of anything more in terms of mitigating the pain though it was more discomfort than outright pain (though that said, I would not want to have one again). I suspect if it's down outpatient you're not going to be knocked out (and really if they only need to look in there for a couple of minutes, they probably don't want to go to the trouble unless they have to).

Fortunately I didn't have any ill-effects (like blood in the urine) and when the doctor's office called the next day to check up on me I was feeling fine.

As for the prep, I had to take off my pants and underwear, put on a robe (open in front) and get in the procedure chair. A young, fairly pretty nurse cleaned and positioned my penis and draped me.

Comfort level depends a lot on whether or not they use a flexible cystoscope. My first cystoscopy was with a flexible scope and I was given a tranquilizer and local anesthetic gel. I had a second one a few months ago with no tranquilizer. I found the procedures only slightly uncomfortable. I had a procedure using a rigid scope and was given a Demorol tablet. The rigid scope was very uncomfortable.

I would love a medfet doctor to try this on me, my arms extended with an IV in each one, telling me "this is going to be painful." I hear NurseMarc (on fetlife) can do similar things. Anyone had the chance to play with him?

I underwent cystoscopy several years ago to rule out bladder cancer following a bit of blood found in my urine. The source was ultimately from a prostate infection. My experience with the cystoscopy was very similar to other descriptions posted here. I was called back to the procedure room by the doctor's nurse and told to remove my pants and underwear then sit on the table. She left and the doctor soon came in. From that point on, he was by himself with no nurse other assistance. The doctor told me to lay back and he put my legs in stirrups. He then took my penis in his hand and pinched the urethra open for a visual inspection. At that point, he told me he was going to put a numbing agent and lubricant in my urethra. He took a syringe (with not needle), dipped it into a stainless steel container and drew some of the contents into the syringe. He then place the tip of the syringe in my penis and injected the contents of the syringe into my urethra. He then placed a clamp on the end of my urethra to keep the lubricant inside. I noted the weight of the clamp as he released my penis and clamp stretched my penis toward the floor. He then got the cystoscope ready, grabbed my penis and removed the clamp. The doctor told me for the first of many time to "relax" I found the experience to be very painful and uncomfortable. As the scope entered my penis, the pain caused me to arch my back on the table. He again told me to relax and said that arching my back the way I did would cause all the muscles in the floor of my abdomen to contract and tense. To further deal with the discomfort, i unconsciously started swinging my lower legs and feet at the knee where they were suspended from the stirrups. He then told me to stop moving my legs using the same reasoning. I don't recall any irrigation or the filling of my bladder in anyway or noted any draining of my bladder into a basin, etc. While the scope was being removed, the doctor either release my penis or pulled the scope out at an angle which caused the end of the scope to scrape the walls of the urethra on the way out. The worst part was the removal of that scope. When all was said and done, the doctor said all was good, told me to dress, and see the receptionist. I dressed and stopped at a restroom in the hall before seeing the receptionist as I had the urge to urinate just then. The pain of that first attempt to urinate was excruciating. I nearly fell to my knees. The pain eased in the following days but the burning sensation as my urine passed over the damaged tissues in my urethra was intense. I also had a little blood on my underwear over the course of the next several days.

I have had, probably 20-25 cystoscopies in the past 15 years, the result of a bladder tumor discovered when I returned from a 3 mile walk and peed out what I thought was a lot of blood. This type of cancer is easy to remove in the early stages, but there is a high possibility that it may return, thus for a time, a cysto every 6 months, but now just yearly. Like many have posted, it may be viewed as invasive, even painful, but eventually, like other procedures, one gets used to it. I have played with sounds, and do not find a cysto in anyway uncomfortable, on the contrary, I look forward to it, in part because of the relationship with a great female urologist. And it helps that one particular nurse is so adept at the preliminary numbing procedure.

Since I was found to have a malignant tumor in my bladder last Jan., I have a scoping every 12 weeks, looking for new polyps. I hate them. If no new polyps are found by this next Jan., then I will be scoped every 6 months for the rest of my life.

Same procedure; medical ass.'t cleans my glans penis with Betadine, then injects Xylocaine Viscous into my urethra. She stays with the urologist as he conducts the scoping. She tells me I am now one of their "Frequent Flyers". I like her because she has had several scopings herself for kidney stones and she knows how I feel. My 35 yr. old "kid" urologist has never had the pleasure.

I had my cystoscopy when I was about 8 or 9 years old. It was done under general anesthesia so I can't give you any report about the procedure itself. After the examination I woke up in a bed with a kind of tape around my penis and the the following days were very painful to pee. But I suppose this painful reaction could depend of my former young age maybe.

Having had kidney and bladder cancer I have had numerous cystoscopies in recent years. When they went into the kidney I was under general anesthesia, but when the go into the bladder only a local anesthesia is inserted into the urethra. When the went into the kidney I was given a prescription for pain meds, but when they went into the bladder the only thing I was given was an anti bacterial med.

Hello everyone!

My doctor recently suggested a cystoscopy to look into possible prostatitis and urinary issues, but I've had a hard time finding really good accounts of people's experiences with them. The stories seem to vary so much, from "worst procedure of my life" to "easier than a checkup", and this has made it really hard to tell if I'm really up for it. I would love any experiences and advice you can give! Thanks.

My Dad had this done a couple of different times. (I had to look it up because I always called the procedure his "bladderoscopy". ) He had varying results with how it went. It just depended on how his internals bits were feeling on the day of the procedure. If they were not sore or inflamed (he was cathetered because his bladder wouldn't work) it was not too bad.

He dreaded the procedure because of the mixed experience of painful/not as painful. But the doctors usually found out the answer they were looking for.

It is a trade off, so decide for yourself. Good luck.

I’ve probably had 25 or 30 cystos since having had a bladder tumor removed over 20 years ago. At first I was being scoped every 6 months, as bladder cancer is easily removed if detected early, but there is a 60% chance the type/grade of tumor removed from me will reoccur in my life time. Now it’s once a year, with my female urologist-I’ve come to very much look forward to the procedure, from the cute nurse that takes my penis in hand and numbs me, to the banter with my urologist during the proceedings. Once I took a photo of my semi-erect member just after the nurse had injected the numbing agent and placed the clamp on it, and sent it to a kinky female friend— I always schedule at the end of the year, only 5 more months to go!

Due to a concern stemming from something referred to as microscopic hematuria I was given a number of cystoscope procedures, the first one definitely a memorable and uncomfortable experience. For those of you who have undergone one, very likely know from the beginning to a point a day or two later where upon urinating it can still be as my urologist remarked “When you pee and you’ve never had the “clap” (VD), you’ll know what it feels like!”

It was something I saw here that brought back the experience and that was mention of men being placed in stirrups which I was and I can to a degree empathize with females who have been in them too.

The opening post was a great description of his procedure. But, what was the outcome I wonder - did they find anything wrong? He never came back to tell us and is no longer a member. It's no secret that I'm not a fan of urologists, as I think they do more tests than needed..

I have had three was under Anastasia all three times but awake for the prep.

^Did they put you under anesthesia just for the cystoscopy or for something else and they did the cystoscopy at the same time?

I had one last spring, it's the one time where females are fortunate in that we have a much shorter urethra than men! Reading the OP, I was struck by the differences in his experience to mine. I was on a gurney and they had me put my feet flat on the bed with legs apart. The doctor put an anesthetic in at the same time he inserted the camera. There was a jolt of pain at first, but after that I felt nothing. I didn't even feel it when he filled my bladder with water. I was able to watch it on the screen and he showed me where everything was, including the top of my uterus. It was really cool to watch.

I get one every 6 months. It’s nice to know I’m not alone.

Wow - sounds like allot of tests, hope you are okay.
