Cystoscopy
Cystoscopy uses an instrument called a cystoscope to view the inside of the urethra and bladder. The cystoscope is a tiny telescope in a tube, which is inserted into the urethra. It is used to help diagnose conditions affecting the prostate gland, the urethra and the bladder.
There is little risk that it will damage the genital organs or urethra. You will usually feel some discomfort when passing urine for a few days but drinking extra water will help. There may be a little bleeding from the urethra or blood in the urine.
