Cystoscopy Removal of Foreign Bodies Treatment in India

Ayaan Bhatia, a curious 8-year-old boy, was playing with small magnetic beads from a construction toy. A few days later, he began complaining of a sharp, constant pain when urinating and his parents noticed he was going to the bathroom much more frequently, often with just a few drops. Terrified of getting in trouble, Ayaan initially hid his symptoms, but when he developed a low-grade fever, his worried parents took him to the pediatrician, who referred them to a urologist. After an X-ray confirmed a cluster of magnetic beads in his bladder, the urologist gently explained to Ayaan and his parents that a short procedure called a cystoscopy was needed to remove them. Under general anesthesia, the urologist used a thin, lighted scope to navigate into Ayaan's bladder and carefully retrieve the beads with tiny instruments. After waking up, Ayaan felt immediate relief from the urgent need to urinate. He experienced some mild burning for a day, which was managed with medication, and was back to his playful self within 48 hours. His emotional journey shifted from fear and secrecy to relief. His parents moved from anxiety and guilt to immense gratitude, using the experience as a gentle lesson about safety without blame.
