Cystoscopy Questions

 
Q. Am I sedated for this procedure?

A. This is simple and quick test that typically does not require sedation.

 

Q. Do I need a driver?

A. No, since you are not sedated a driver is not necessary. You may resume your regular daily activities.


Q. Will it hurt?

A. We use a local numbing agent to help prevent pain. Typically the patient feels a pressure sensation and the urge to void upon entering the bladder. The bladder is then filled with water or saline so a sensation of fullness may occur.
