About Flexible Cystoscopy

Flexible cystoscopy is a minimally invasive medical procedure that allows visualization of the interior of the bladder and urethra, providing the doctor with a detailed image of the lower urinary tract. At Topmed Medical Center in Târgu Mureș, this technique is performed using a flexible cystoscope – a thin, flexible tube equipped with a video camera at its tip. Compared to rigid cystoscopy, the flexible version is more comfortable and involves less discomfort, being suitable for both men and women.

This procedure is essential for diagnosing and monitoring various urological conditions, such as identifying and following up on bladder tumors, clarifying the cause of blood in the urine (hematuria), recurrent urinary infections, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), bladder stones, or neurogenic bladder dysfunction. At Topmed Medical Center in Târgu Mureș, patients can benefit from this investigation in safe and comfortable conditions.

How is cystoscopy performed?

The procedure is performed in the outpatient department at Topmed Medical Center in Târgu Mureș, without requiring hospitalization.

The patient lies on an examination table, and the doctor uses a local anesthetic gel to numb the urethra.

After the anesthesia takes effect, the flexible cystoscope is gently inserted into the urethra and guided into the bladder.

Once in the bladder, the doctor can carefully examine the bladder lining and detect any abnormalities. The procedure typically lasts between 5 and 20 minutes, depending on the complexity of the case, and patients benefit from a fast and safe diagnosis.

Preparing for cystoscopy

Preliminary tests

A basic urinalysis and urine culture are often recommended to rule out active urinary infections. Patients in Târgu Mureș can quickly have these tests done at the Topmed laboratory.

Bladder emptying

It is recommended that the patient empties their bladder before the cystoscopy to facilitate the insertion of the cystoscope.

No special preparation such as fasting or general anesthesia is needed, making recovery after the procedure very quick for patients.
