How long does it take for the pain/ discomfort to not bother me?

Why do you need either a spinal or GA for a rigid but only gel for a flexible? Can a 2cm bladder stone be crushed and flushed without a spinal or GA and just have the numbing gel?

I had cystoscopy a week ago . My first night after I pee I noticed black blood clots like tart came out with my urine. It took few times to pee to have it all gone. But the 2nd day I started blood spot not in my urine but when I wiped myself. It is my 7day now I'm still getting blood spots turning into pink mix with slight blood. My urine is clear just when I wiped myself. Do I have to worry?

Sounds like you are progressing as expected. If any concerns you should touch base with ur urologist.

Do you flush afterwards with 3 catheters.?????

[@TheProstateClinicTPC]

Flush the bladder? If so, no I don’t. Hope this answers your question.
