- Dr. Hyman explains in detail the cystoscopy procedure. This diagnostic procedure leverages state-of-the-art technology to allow your urologist to identify the source of your urinary issues.
Thank you for taking the time to explain the cystoscopy procedure, Dr. Hyman. You explained this procedure in a very compassionate manner, with good details in what to expect! Very informative and reassuring, which is much appreciated!
thank you Dr. Hyman, I just got a job as a scheduler at a Urology Clinic, I schedule cystos every now and then. Thank you for explaining the procedure.
I'll pass !! No way in hell.
@@tommac21 I hear ya man, it's nonstop busy 🙃
Brilliant and so reassuring, really appreciate the time you took to make this video.
I had this done yesterday. Like many of you I was dreading it and wishing they would put me under. But it was mostly a big nothing burger. Very minor discomfort and it stung when I urinated the first few times but 18 hours later no pain at all. I got to look inside at the mass in my bladder and am scheduled for surgery in 2 weeks but the cystoscopy was no big deal. Like Dr. Hyman says you can do this and you will be fine!
What problem you have?you have Microscopic Hematuria?your doctor find any problem before ?

My first clue was blood in the urine. Not microscopic. Jan 26. I had a CAT scan a week later that revealed a 2.5cm mass. This was confirmed with the cystoscopy which didn't hurt. Just a bit uncomfortable.
Doc scheduled me for surgery March 13. I was terrified because the surgery takes the same route as the cystoscopy but with a larger instrument. Yikes!
But thanks to anesthesiology I didn't feel a thing. Just went to sleep and woke up in recovery. No pain at all.
Was supposed to be an outpatient procedure but due to excessive bleeding I stayed 3 extra days and was discharged with a catheter. That was not comfortable but I was able to sleep all night without having to get up to pee LOL!
It was removed at my followup visit last Friday. The next day I fould out I have a UTI which isn't surprising but I am on Cephalexin and it's clearing up. I almost feel normal.
I DO have cancer but doctor said it's very slow advancing and no chemo or radiation is needed. Just plenty of water and a followup every 6 months so I feel lucky as hell!
Let me know if you have any questions. I can give you my email if you like.
@@MyPetGoat2U thanx for your replay.God may prtect your health always.last year i have to urination in the night & day.my family doctor advised me to make blood and urine test.all the test negative.just i have Microscopic Hematuria.i did Abdomen CT scane contrast it is also clear nothing found.my dr refefered me to Urologist and yesterday i visited.but Urologist just check my all test included CT scane and just ask you have pain in Abdomen,you have Blood in urine?i said do not have pain,no blood in urine only Microscope Hematuria.he said ok no worry about it.he did not do Cyscotscopy.i do not know why.now i need little force during urination & feel little Burning.
Thanks for your story. I'm going next week for mine. Had brachytherapy for prostate cancer 14 years ago. Having urination problems: burning and stop and go stream (no blood or back pain) so my urologist wants to do the cystoscopy.
@@whatsamattayu3257 I'm going in for my second cystoscopy Friday the 26th. I'll let you know how it goes. I was TERRIFIED of getting my first one but it was only slightly uncomfortable and well worth it. I do not fear the upcoming one at all. It was less dramatic than getting my teeth cleaned and it revealed a tumor in my bladder.
The surgery was no big deal. I was very apprehensive but I just went to sleep and felt no pain at all during or afterwards. I was supposed to go home the same day but I had excessive bleeding and ended up staying 3 nights and had to have a catheter for a week but it wasn't too bad. I'm hoping my followup next week goes well and will keep you posted here.
But don't worry about the cystoscopy!
Thank you Dr Hyman. Excellent information. Very generous of you.
Thank you Doctor very well explained😊
Thanks Dr. Hyman! If the Dr can't say anything any input from anyone let me know. I went for my first consult and it was a PA and not a full doctor of Urology. He said try Tamsulosin HCL .4mg one a day to see if that helps in regard to frequent urination and some dribbling after urinating and also sometimes leaking before urinating if I really need to urninate badly. Also I urninate a lot i.e. I went 10 times in 7 hours and average having to urinate about every 45 minutes. Sometimes I urinate and 15 minutes later I have to urninate again as much as I did minutes before. I told the PA all of that and he prescribed the Tamsulosin that caused terrible ringing in my ear that always rings only the ringing was 4 times as loud and happening only an hour after the first dose. There is another drug he said I could use that begins with an "s" but forgot what it is. Is that a waste of time trying the drugs to really see what my problem is? With what I describe is it where I should request I have a cystoscopy? Just hoping for independent advice. Also should a PA really do my cystoscopy instead of a full doctor of Urology?
Thank you DR Michael
I’m having one done tomorrow and I’m freaking out! Freaking out about the pain involved and freaking out about the possibility of bladder cancer. This sucks
How did it go? Im going in a couple of days
@@chuckw.3623 Chuck, I thankfully didn’t have much pain with the cystoscopy, it was a lot smoother than I expected and my doctor was done pretty quick with very little to no pain. I will say though my urination throughout the rest of the day was painful.
Just had my first awake Cystoscopy, it’s just as he describes. It’s NO big deal.
I don’t care if it’s 10 seconds it hurts like hell and you’re lying to your patience.
I had it twice not that painful just slightly at the prostrate restriction
Maybe that is your experience, but not like that for everyone!
@@joedoe-sedoe7977 Exactly, this is just his experience and shouldn't be saying it is like this in general terms!
Can cystoscopy be performed in a structured urethra?
my experience was it hurt a lot. I am scheduled for surgury in April and my hospital uses general anetheisea which none of these videos talk about that. I'm concerneded that the no big deal and easy recovery might be a little bit BS
Watched a number of cystoscopy videos and they all talk about looking inside the bladder but they make it sound like the camera isn’t used in the urethra either going in or out. So if that’s true, how would that tell the doctor anything about my prostate?
I like how they keep saying through the uretha. They don't say where it really goes through in a male. But we know. So there is absolutely no way !!
Do you force the scope through the urethra if the prostrate is constricting it?
My husband had it done did not fill a thing
Hello Sir
I am 40 years old man.since August 2023 my doctor test my urine which he saw urine through Microscope.
I did Psa test,Uti test,Abdomen Ct scane which normal.today i visit Urologist he said dont worry your ok..Your CT scane clear.but i need little force to start urine.do i need to be worry or its ok?i never see blood in Urine.thank you in advance
Does this procedure have the 60 second video retained
He can not numb the bladder sphincter and it Hurts like Hell Drs. Lie like a dead Dog.
I know people that have had it done and didn't hurt like hell-and also other comments on here a well you should of read!
Demon
Its also a huge money maker be honest
Maybe so but to me it was worth every penny. Saved my life!
