A cystoscopy is a procedure that allows your practitioner to look inside your bladder and urethra by passing a very small telescope, called a cystoscope, through the urethra. A cystoscopy allows the practitioner to evaluate and diagnose the inside of the bladder. The procedure involves passing an ultra-thin camera in to the urethra through the bladder. The urethra is the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body.

Why Is Cystoscopy Done?

One of the most common uses for cystoscopy is to find the cause of abnormal bladder issues. To help with diagnosis, a cystoscopy may be done to help to find the cause of symptoms such as:

ound the mouth, forehead, between the brows, lip, neck bands, and for crow’s feet around the eye area. Smooth the telltale signs of aging.

Botox® works by being injected into the muscle. It temporarily freezes precise muscles to make them less prominent and active. It’s one of the safest and most studied aesthetic procedures that is safe and effective. Lines and wrinkles are smoother within 4 to 7 days after the injections, and existing wrinkles get smoother with repeated treatment. Best of all, Botox® injections every few months prevents wrinkles from forming in the first place. An ounce of prevention…

The injections are comfortable, you will feel tiny pinches of the very small needle. Results last anywhere from 3 to 6 months and are completed in less than 10 minutes. Botox® makes prevention and correction of wrinkles easy!

The symptoms of endometriosis are related to the areas where endometriosis invades. Endometriosis of the uterosacral ligaments/cul-de-sac leads to painful intercourse, constipation, diarrhea and painful defecation. Endometriosis on the ovary can lead to left sided or right sided pain. Bladder endometriosis may lead to urinary frequency or urgency. You may have only one of the above symptoms or many. Even one symptom can be suggestive of Endometriosis.

Some women have no symptoms yet suffer from infertility. And many women do not have any symptoms, but discover they have endometriosis when are having trouble conceiving. If your doctor told you that you have ‘unexplained infertility’, endometriosis is the culprit in 40-50% of cases of unexplained infertility. If you need an endometriosis specialist in Fort Myers, Naples or Cape Coral, make an appointment with Dr. Bloy. His excision and medical treatment of endometriosis decreases inflammation, pain and will improve fertility.

Types of Cystoscopy Procedures

Two main types of cystoscopes are used: flexible or rigid.
A flexible cystoscope is a thin telescope which is passed into the bladder via the urethra; it is about as thick as a pencil. As the cystoscope is flexible, it usually passes easily along the curves of the urethra. The flexible tip can also be moved so the doctor can look at all the inside lining of the bladder and the opening of the ureters.
A rigid cystoscope is a shorter, rigid telescope. It allows a greater variety of devices to pass down side channels so that the doctor can, for example, take samples or inject into the bladder. Sometimes, it is necessary to perform a rigid cystoscopy at a later date after a flexible cystoscopy.

You are able to return to work or any activities immediately after your cystoscopy.
