Does a cystoscopy hurt?


Question:
I am going this week for one and I'm nervous. Can anyone tell me if it hurts or is it long? I asked the doctor if it hurts and all he tells me is "Calm down." while smiling at me like Im some sort of idiot. Can someone please help me out here.

Answers:
A cystoscopy under local anaesthetic should not hurt, It might be uncomfortable and undignifed but if you are concious (which is how most are carried out these days) you can always tell the doctor to stop if it is too much for you. The procedure usually lasts no longer than about 10-15 minutes, that includes preparing the instrument.

Other Answers:
No pain ,I guarantee . I,m male and the route to the bladder is longer ,but I,ve had it done several times and its nothing to worry about and depending on what the Dr. is looking for in your bladder ,its over very quickly .
