Flexible Cystoscopy
- A minimally invasive procedure for diagnosing and evaluating bladder health.
Introduction
Expert Care for Bladder Examination
A flexible cystoscopy is a diagnostic procedure used to examine the inside of the bladder and urethra. It is performed using a thin, flexible tube with a camera at the tip, allowing specialists to detect abnormalities such as infections, bladder stones, inflammation, or early signs of cancer. The procedure is quick, well-tolerated, and does not require general anaesthesia, making it an effective and safe way to assess urinary health.
Edgbaston Wellness Clinic provides expert flexible cystoscopy services in a professional and comfortable environment. Our specialists ensure a smooth experience with minimal discomfort while delivering accurate diagnostic results.
Understanding Flexible Cystoscopy
A flexible cystoscopy allows a detailed view of the bladder lining and urinary tract, helping diagnose conditions such as recurrent urinary tract infections, blood in the urine, bladder pain, or difficulty urinating. It is a simple outpatient procedure that provides valuable insights into bladder function and health.
What is a Flexible Cystoscopy?
A flexible cystoscopy involves inserting a thin, flexible camera through the urethra to examine the bladder. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia and takes only a few minutes. It helps identify urinary problems and guide further treatment if needed.
