Cystoscopy

A brief office examination of the urethra and bladder with a thin, flexible camera — the key test for blood in the urine, recurrent infections and bladder symptoms.

Cystoscopy

Cystoscopy lets Dr. Sosenko look directly inside the urethra, prostate and bladder using a flexible scope about the width of a pencil. It is the definitive way to evaluate blood in the urine, recurrent infections, persistent bladder symptoms, and to check for bladder tumors, stones, or strictures.

In the office, in minutes

  • Numbing gel is applied; no sedation is needed
  • The flexible scope is passed gently through the urethra — the examination itself takes only a few minutes
  • You can watch on the monitor as Dr. Sosenko explains what he sees
  • You may notice mild burning or a small amount of blood for a day; drinking extra water helps

Results are discussed with you immediately, so decisions are not delayed.
