- A cystoscopy is a procedure that allows a healthcare professional to look inside your bladder.
- It can be used to check what’s causing certain symptoms and treat some bladder conditions.
- A long, thin tube with a small camera inside (cystoscope) is gently put into your urethra and moved through it into your bladder. The urethra is the tube that carries pee from your bladder out of your body.
Information:
You may have a local anaesthetic during a cystoscopy, where the area around your urethra or the lower half of your body is numbed.
Alternatively, a general anaesthetic can be used, where you're asleep during the cystoscopy.
