膀胱镜检查
我们正在翻译此内容。 A cystoscopy is a procedure that utilizes a cystoscope, a specific endoscope to examine the urethra and the lining of the bladder in order to diagnose, monitor, and treat diseases or abnormalities of the urethra and/or the bladder. The cystoscope is a thin, flexible tube with a light source and camera at its tip, small surgical instruments can be passed through a canal for treatment or collect biopsies.
The doctor will recommend a cystoscopy for those experiencing abnormal symptoms of the lower urinary tract. The procedure can assist with the following:
The doctor cautiously advances the cystoscope through the urethra into the bladder examining the inner surfaces of the urethra and bladder.
The bladder will be filled with a saline or sterile solution in order to inflate the bladder and allow the doctor to see clearly. As the bladder fills, the patient may feel the need to urinate, but must wait until the examination is complete. The procedure should take about 10-15 minutes.
During the cystoscopy, your doctor may take tissue samples for lab testing, or perform other additional procedures as well.
A cystoscopy is known to pose few risks or complications, although, in certain cases, potential risks or complications may include the following:
If a patient is still experiencing blood in their urine, bright red urine, increased abdominal pain, or fever and chills 2 days after a cystoscopy, they should see a doctor immediately.
After a cystoscopy, patients should be able to resume their normal daily activities. It’s necessary for patients to drink plenty of water in order to reduce irritation in the urethra.
