Aditya Mehta, a 52-year-old software engineer...
Aditya Mehta, a 52-year-old software engineer and father of two, had been experiencing a persistent, urgent need to urinate for nearly six months, often waking him up multiple times each night. Despite trying lifestyle changes, the discomfort and disruption to his sleep were affecting his work and mood. His primary care physician found microscopic blood in his urine and referred him to a urologist. The urologist, Dr. Sharma, recommended a diagnostic cystoscopy to visually examine his bladder lining and rule out serious causes like tumors. Aditya was very anxious before the procedure, fearing pain and a potential cancer diagnosis. The procedure itself, performed under local anesthesia, was a brief, intense pressure and burning sensation but was over quickly. The recovery involved a day of mild burning during urination and some pink-tinged urine. The outcome was a great relief: Dr. Sharma found only an inflamed bladder (cystitis) and no signs of cancer. Aditya felt an immense wave of emotional relief post-procedure. While he still needed treatment for the inflammation, the fear of a life-threatening illness was gone, replaced by manageable optimism.
