Had mine done a couple days ago at the VA… wasn’t “painful” in the classic sense but almost felt like the sensation you get when you touch your tongue to a 9V battery.., like a mild shock that lasted the procedure. I found myself breathing heavily… not fun but not the end of the world.

Stop exaggerating😂😂😂😂

Mine is scheduled for tomorrow. I'll just leave this here and if I don't come back to update it, you'll know I didn't survive. So now two days after my cysto, I can say it wasn't at all painful. I can't say it tickled, but nothing to worry about. My urologist used the rigid scope. I called him old-school and he said everything he did was old-school but with experience. I don't think it took one minute and he was done. I literally talked out loud which took my mind off the procedure. It just feels weird but it did not hurt and no after effects. On my first trip to the men's room shortly after, I had one little speck of blood and no more. I will add that two weeks prior to this, I had a urodynamics test. It was no joy, but I did walk out on my own power and no pain followed.

What video did you watch for this cystoscopy procedure ?

Just had mine and it was a breeze. Hardly felt anything except for a little burning. It was more messy than anything. Really, if it hurts you either had a Cro-Magnon do it or you are a sissy. Put your big boy pants on.

I have a sore bladder pretty often in the morning. Like not pain but sore enough to keep me from going back to sleep if I wake up prematurely and try not to get up and pee. I usually don’t even have a lot of urine in this situation. It’s just that the urine that is in there is really irritating. The other day I went to a party and drank a good bit of alcohol, worst night of sleep in my life. Bladder was very irritated. Urologist always says my urine is negative for any issues and my prostate is not enlarged.

Shit man I am going for one in 2 weeks, bricking it now.

You had it easy, whatever local sedative they gave me didn't even matter, I wished Tiger Balm came out with an unscented balm...LOL

Great job, guy. Thanks for

just had this test . I was freaking out because of all the negativity online with comments on how terrible it is. I felt hardly nothing. It was over very quickly. Really hardly no discomfort at All. So please people don't let comments scare you off from a test that can help you and give you peace of mind. Reply

Maybe my experiences are different as I live in England where we have a national health service and these sort of procedures are done in hospitals by specialist urology doctors. As I am older and have an enlarged prostate I have had about 8 flexible cystoscopies over the last 10 years. None of which have been painful. I will give you that they are uncomfortable, but painful no. I have had 3 in the last 6 months because I had a really nasty UTI in May this year which put me in hospital and yesterday I had a rigid cystoscopy under a general anaesthetic as a day surgery in my local hospital. This is because the flexible cystoscopies identified a suspect red patch on my bladder wall which they wanted to biopsy to check whether it was cancerous. This is why they are important. Everything said in the video is correct. Yes they do pump gel down your urethra, but mine was only a small plastic syringe. Yes you can feel it as it is pushed through your sphincter, but the more relaxed you are the less you feel it. Yes they do pump water into your bladder to fill it up otherwise the camera can’t see around in there. Yes it’s cold because it is sterile and is refrigerated to keep it sterile. If you watch on the screen you can even see that there is a bubble which floats to the top of your bladder so they know which way is up. Yes it does sting for a while when you pee afterwards. Pain is relative and a flexible cystoscopy, in my opinion, is briefly about a 0.5 or less out of 10 on the pain scale. HOWEVER, prostate cancer and bladder cancer are BIG KILLERS in the male population. So my advice on all this is don’t hesitate to have a cystoscopy of either type if you are told you need one. If you wimp out it may ultimately kill you !

I had one two days ago. Anxiety before hand was pretty high. Didn’t get any of the numbing gel. My question to anybody out there is how long does the pain last after when peeing??? I’m struggling every time I try to pee. It’s like I’m pissing hot sauce. How did you guys get through the post procedure hurdles?

leaving for mine in a few minutes

Had mine 2 days ago lol. I was on the verge of leaving the chair after i saw the size of the camera that was going in. 😐 The worst part for me was going over the prostate and thru the sphincter. It was literally a second of pain and that was about it thankfully. It did sting with whatever the nurse injected before. I had horrible thoughts that it'd get stuck, cut my insides, get hard and theyd think i was some kind of freak. Just glad its over lol

It’s 2am and I’m watching this because I have this procedure this afternoon. I have to pay 125 for nitrous oxide aka laughing gas, hope it’s worth it and it will make it tolerable

Had one done in 2015. One of the most painful things in my life. Having another one done tomorrow. I'm freaking out. Been taking Xanax the last couple days and they aren't having any effect at all. Hate when they use the word "discomfort". Total BULLSHIT !!! It F'n HURTS !!!!

Piece of cake. The strange part for this country boy is legs spread, no underpants and two female nurses in the room and just talking about the wather. Its like a nudist coony with i am the only one with no clothes. Needing to pee but not being able to is an odd sensation. The tube i felt not much. I did find that i have cancer and so now a bigger tube but knocked out. The discomfort, the bleeding, the clots come afterwards. I usually ony start to get nervous te day before.

Having mine done today I’m so scared 😂

Dude, mine wasn't bad. you had me freaking out! There was just a second of pain and I didn't feel anything else.

MORPHINE PLZ!!!

Now peeing in fckn pain!!!!!!

WTF! I almost fckn died from the pain!!!!

Ruck me Funnin'! That's the most God-awful cringiest thing I've ever heard. I'm scheduled for one next month. I may have to go drunk. Appreciate ya.

I'm gonna have to take a Xanax, adiós sobriety 🤪

Had mine done today the only slight discomfort was getting the numbing stuff it stings for a minute but other than that it was ok and only took 5 minutes

Had one done today it fucking hurts to pee right now

When they don't find nothing its great but also your like crap I went through all this pain for nothing its like can you atleast find a penny up there or something not serious 😂

In my country it is done with sedation or anesthesia. Not that brutal way it is done in the USA.

Lava down your cok hole welding rod up it

I swear my Peter would be inverted. 😂

I'm supposed to go tomorrow morning for a cystoscopy. I may cancel now after seeing this! Jeez, will this affect me at work a day later? I'm in a position where I sometimes cannot use the bathroom while I'm with patients myself. Thanks for the video and how soon was it until you felt "normal" again without burning? Oh, do you need a diaper afterwards since you are numb down there and cannot feel any sensation to urinate?

i had one several minths ago. the doc said it would be 'uncomfortable'. regrettably, my experience was horrific. it was the most painful and traumatic experience i ever had. i dropped a few F bombs while he was doing it. after it was over, i had a rectal ultrasound. that was easy. i was still on the table naked from the waist down and he started talking about treatments. i was in tears by the time he left. i will insist in some kund of sedation if i ever have to endure this again. fortunately, my experience is uncommon.

Dude I'm going for that and you not helping, damn!!😢😢

😂😂😂I can't stop laughing i have mine next week i will be laughing thinking about you 😂😂😂

I loved your video! You have to have a sense of humor about this experience!!

I feel so bad for U I hope I never have to go through this

After I had it done, I now know what a water balloon feels like.

My procedure is coming soon, I’m nervous as fkuc

I am getting mine done on June 27th at the VA Hospital. I am so nervous. I had something similar 30 years ago and it hurt going through the prostate gland. They are looking for bladder cancer.

I wouldn’t recommend it as a day out, it’s quite uncomfortable but it doesn’t really hurt and it’s over in a minute or so. As the camera was inserted I screamed at the top of my voice “ Fucking Hell ! “. I found that helped 😹👍

Your experience made me lol. I had mine done a month ago, and the procedure went better than I expected. Relaxing helps a lot. I have another one on Jun 6th but I will be asleep. Im going to assume I’ll have to do it again for post op in a few weeks.

It is painful. Mine didn’t even go well so they had to reschedule my procedure to have it done in a hospital.

I'm going in in two days for this, and you made me laugh so hard I have to pee. But now, oh I wish I don't have to do this. Oh Boy...!

I wish you all the best

At any point did someone say you have to push a whole human being out of that small hole? No? Then think yourself lucky. Did you emerge from the room with stitches running the length of your Penis? No? I think you got the better end of the deal pal.

They want to do this for me and I don't think I can do this.

Man, I saw a Urologist last week, because of an enlarged prostate. She said I need to get a cystoscopy. I came home and searched for cystoscopy and of course, youtube being youtube, immediately came up with a LOT of videos dealing with it. One of them, was yours, this one, and I watched it. I have to say, that while there are tons of clinical videos out there, I was interested in yours, because of the immediacy of it, being only a few hours after you had the procedure. But like others here, I am still debating as to whether or not I am glad I watched it! I mean, you did an insanely great job of detailing it, which is good, but at the same time, it is those details that are scaring the heck out of me! I mean, when you showed that pen, saying it was about the size of the instrument they would be sticking up there, well, that would scare any guy! Heck, I chose my Dr, because I wanted an Asian female Dr who is good looking. Man, I got one! My Urologist is totally HOT! But you know, and I was just thinking about this after watching your video and those other clinical ones that purport to show actual lab rooms where cystoscopy are being done. Even IF this totally beautiful Asian female Urologist WILL be the one holding onto my "thing", while she is sticking in that HUGE instrument, I don't think even her holding onto me, is going to make it any better! But I Am going to watch your part two video or update video, to see what your update is. Thanks very much for posting this video. I think it was the most helpful and I am going to schedule my own cystoscopy next week. Heaven help me.....

Great video thank you. I had my first done 3 days ago. Apart from a pinch as it went through my sphincter it was pain free and not uncomfortable, however afterwards the tip of my penis stung and I desperately needed to go to the bathroom. I would do it again if I need it.

Mine was nothing like that. I hardly felt it, until I went to Pee.

Take care
