Menopause Matters magazine ISSUE 76 out now. (Summer issue, June 2024)
Hi Northerngirl. Ive hd a few cystoscopies and found them to be fine. It didn't hurt but the sensation can be a little uncomfortable. The urethra is numbed first with gel. It doesn't take long and then you are free to go. Have you been given a leaflet? You are advised to drink more over the following days to avoid a UTI. I went back to work after each of mine so I hope that yours is ok too.Taz x [/quoteThanks Taz, I've been given info but just need to hear from you ladies who have had one before. I've had a hysteroscopy before and found that painful and I think I've a good pain threshold tbh. Are you allowed home straight after or do you have to pee first? Does the anaesthetic gel actually work because I'm sore down there anyway.
