Flexible cystoscopy is a short minimal-invasive procedure to detect bladder and bladder associated problems. It involves passing a flexible tube (cystoscope) through the urethra into the bladder to visualize its internals. The tube is attached with a camera, the images from which are displayed on a screen. These visuals are used by experts to establish a diagnosis.

A flexible cystoscopy is indicated when you experience problems with your urination process. These may include pain and discomfort while urinating, blood in urine, frequent urinary tract infections and a highly irritable bladder. The underlying cause for these issues can be determined after an in-depth examination of the tract and bladder through cystoscopy.

It is a short procedure that is carried out in the outpatient department. It usually takes only a few minutes (as little as 5 to 10 minutes). A sterile fluid is run through the tube to stretch the bladder to obtain a better view of its lining.

It is a safe procedure that allows direct inspection of the bladder and its lining epithelium. It is done to diagnose and treat a wide range of bladder problems. Not only that, but it also helps to remove small polyps and stones through the use of dedicated instruments.

Flexible cystoscopy is a short procedure. First, an anaesthetic jelly is passed into the urethra to make the procedure painless and comfortable. A cystoscope is then inserted through the urethra all the way up to the bladder to examine it. The urologists also pass sterile fluid through the cystoscope into the bladder to stretch it and obtain a better view. The urologists may also take bladder biopsies for any further investigations.
