Cystourethroscopy
What the risks are
There is a slight risk of excessive bleeding when a biopsy is taken. There is also a risk that the bladder wall will rupture from the cystoscope or during biopsy.
Special considerations
You must be sure to drink 4 - 6 glasses of water per day after your cystoscopy.
You may notice a small amount of blood in your urine following this procedure. If the bleeding continues after you urinate 3 times, contact your health care provider.
Contact your health care provider if you develop any of these signs of infection:
- Chills
- Fever
- Pain
- Reduced urine output
