About Cystoscopy with Urethral Dilatation

Cystoscopy with urethral dilatation is a specialized urological procedure performed by an andrologist, a doctor focusing on male reproductive and urinary health. It involves the insertion of a thin, flexible or rigid tube called a cystoscope through the urethra to visually inspect the bladder lining. Concurrently, the urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body) is gently widened or 'dilated' to alleviate strictures or narrowing. This minimally invasive procedure is crucial for diagnosing and treating conditions like urinary blockages, recurrent infections, or blood in the urine. It is typically performed under local or general anesthesia, offering both diagnostic clarity and therapeutic relief in a single session.

PATIENT REVIEW

Emily Williams, a 42-year-old high school...

Emily Williams, a 42-year-old high school teacher and mother of two, had been struggling for over a year. Following a difficult childbirth with her second child, she developed persistent urinary symptoms: a constant feeling of incomplete emptying, a weak and intermittent stream, and recurring urinary tract infections that disrupted her work and family life. She felt embarrassed and exhausted, often planning her day around bathroom access. Her gynecologist referred her to an andrologist, Dr. Chen, who diagnosed a urethral stricture, a narrowing likely from scar tissue after delivery. He recommended a cystoscopy with urethral dilatation to visually examine her bladder and gently stretch the narrowed urethra. On the day of the procedure, Emily was anxious but relieved to be addressing the problem. Under local anesthesia, she felt significant pressure and brief, sharp discomfort during the dilatation, but the procedure was quick. The immediate relief of the obstruction was profound. Recovery involved a day of rest, a burning sensation during urination for 24-48 hours, and drinking plenty of water. Within a week, her flow was stronger and more consistent, and the frequent UTIs ceased. Emotionally, she moved from a place of silent frustration and feeling 'broken' to immense relief and regained confidence. She felt like she had her body and her life back.
