If you have symptoms… burning urination, incomplete urination, inability to hold urine
Urine with blood, check for abnormalities with cystoscopy
Blood in urine, frequent urination, discomfort? Now you don’t have to worry anymore
If you are experiencing urinary tract problems such as blood in urine, frequent urination, or a feeling of discomfort, these may be warning signs that you should see a doctor immediately to find the cause and receive appropriate treatment. Currently, examination with “lower urinary tract endoscopy” (urethra, prostate in men, and bladder) (Cystoscopy) is used to diagnose and treat abnormalities of the urinary tract.
What is cystoscopy and what are its benefits?
Cystoscopy is a medical examination using a small camera with light attached to the end of a tube inserted to inspect inside the bladder. This allows the doctor to clearly see images from the urethral opening, prostate, to the bladder, and accurately detect abnormalities such as tumors, inflamed bladder lining, bladder scars, or other issues that may cause blood in urine, frequent urination, or discomfort. Nowadays, cystoscopy uses a flexible camera (Flexible Cystoscopy), making it a safe, painless procedure that takes a short time. The doctor will use local anesthesia to make the patient comfortable during the examination.
When should you have a cystoscopy? If you have symptoms…
- Burning urination, incomplete urination
- Difficulty urinating, weak stream, or dribbling
- Inability to hold urine
- Urine with blood
- Difficulty urinating, needing to strain
Cystoscopy, a technology that helps accurately diagnose and treat urinary tract problems
Cystoscopy examination is performed by a team of urology specialists to find the cause and start appropriate treatment promptly. This examination is safe, painless, and quick. It helps doctors detect and diagnose abnormalities in the urinary tract accurately and begin targeted treatment immediately.
