Couldn't due Systoscopy: Female

I'm male ..

I was getting far too many UTI's. Had to have cystoscope rescheduled  under general anesthesia as the attempt with just gel was too painful.  Under general anesthesia, things went ok.  1/2 hour or less was actual procedure.

.  Cystoscope showed bladder neck was not fully open  up enough to Prevent urine retention. (Prostate was pressing on bladder neck.). Took  1/2 hour or less under anesthesia to correct problems.  Suffered for about 2 years. I'm doing great now. 

I highly recommend the cystoscope procedure under general anesthesia. It was  much less stressful.   Hope this helps. 

I had a similar problem 2 years ago , same symptoms , same problem with urethra being too narrow . Had a rigid cystoscopy and dilation under general , and that solved all my problems . Nothing to worry about its quite painless . I had a catheter for about 10 days after , but that was no problem . Don't be nervous it is well worth getting the problem sorted out . My quality of life is much better now , and added bonus I get more sleep , not having to get up and go to the toilet too many times every night .

Thank you both. Urologists office called. My procedure will be Nov. 21. Very hopeful now that this will go well.

I will. I hope so.  

Had the test yesterday. They did the anesthesia different as I get violently ill from the regular stuff they use. Test went great. Very little discomfort after although it still burns when I pee. See the Dr in 6 weeks for  followup but he thinks the dilatation fixed the problem. I hope so. Time will tell.  

Hope you don't me saying , I told you so .
