Cystoscopy
A thin camera passed into the bladder lets its lining be seen directly, helping to find the cause of blood in the urine, pain or repeated infections.

Looking inside the bladder to find the cause of symptoms
Cystoscopy uses a narrow camera, called a cystoscope, passed through the urethra into the bladder. It shows the bladder lining and can find stones, inflammation or other problems. It is also used during some pelvic surgery to check the bladder.
The procedure is quick, and many women find it easier than they expected.
Dr Jasdev explains the findings straight after the procedure.
Symptoms understood first
Leaking, bulging or discomfort is assessed carefully, including how much it affects your daily life.
Simpler options considered too
Pelvic floor exercises, physiotherapy and other treatments without surgery are discussed alongside operations.
Recovery planned in advance
You will know what to expect after the procedure and when your review is due.

- Answers about blood in the urine or repeated symptoms

Explain the findings and plan treatment
How cystoscopy works
A flexible cystoscope is used with numbing gel in the clinic. A rigid cystoscope may be used under anaesthetic, especially if samples are needed. Water fills the bladder so the lining can be seen. The test usually takes five to fifteen minutes.
Who may benefit
Women with blood in the urine, recurrent urine infections, bladder pain or an overactive bladder not helped by treatment. It is also used when a bladder injury is suspected after pelvic surgery.
What to expect
You can usually go home straight after. Some stinging and pink urine for a day or two are common, and drinking plenty of water helps. You will be told the findings and any next steps.
