Getting your cystoscopy results
After the cystoscopy, a doctor or nurse may tell you if they noticed any changes to your bladder.
They should talk to you about your results and explain what happens next, including if you'll need more tests or treatment.
You may need a follow-up appointment to talk about your results and next steps.
If a sample of cells was removed for testing (biopsy), it usually takes 1 to 2 weeks to get the results.
If your results show you have cancer, you’ll be referred to a specialist cancer care team.
