What is cystoscopy and when is it recommended?

Cystoscopy (uroendoscopy, urethrocystoscopy) is a diagnostic examination in which the mucous membrane of the urethra and bladder is examined with a flexible urethrocystoscope - a probe-shaped instrument with a camera.

Cystoscopy is performed in the event of blood in the urine or urination problems (difficult and/or painful urination).

This is an endoscopic examination that is minimally invasive, meaning it is performed through a natural opening in the human body (urethra), without an incision in the skin for the insertion of an optical instrument, and is performed by a urologist, M.Sc. Kazimir Milostić.

During cystoscopy, the doctor carefully examines the mucous membrane to rule out the presence of pathological changes, such as polyps, tumors, injuries, or stones.

During the examination, some patients feel as if they have to urinate, but in most patients the examination is performed without major difficulties or pain.

Our urology specialists , M.Sc. Kazimir Milostić, M.D. , and M.Sc. Neven Vrsalović, M.Sc., perform urological examinations, ultrasound of the scrotum, testicles, abdomen, and transrectal ultrasound of the prostate (TRUS), as well as cystoscopies.
