Cystoscopy

Cystourethroscopy

There is some risk of infection, so your health care provider will give you an antibiotic.

There is a slight risk of excessive bleeding when a biopsy is taken, as well as rupture of the bladder wall with the cystoscope or during biopsy.

You must be sure to drink 4 to 6 glasses of water per day after your cystoscopy.

You may notice a small amount of blood in your urine following this procedure. If the bleeding continues after 3 voids (urinations), contact your health care provider.

If you develop pain, chills, fever, or reduced urine output, contact your provider, as these may be signs of infection.
