Cystoscopy Outpatient Clinic

Cystoscopy is a test that allows your doctor to look at the inside of your bladder and urethra. It's done using a thin, lighted tube called a cystoscope.

Cystoscopy may be done to:

• find the cause of many urinary system problems. Examples include blood in the urine, pain when you urinate, incontinence, frequent urinary tract infections, and blockages in the urinary tract
• remove tissue samples for testing (biopsy)
• remove a foreign object
• treat certain problems
• the test can be used to remove stones or growths, help stop bleeding in the bladder, or remove a blockage
