How to prepare
- Inform your urologist about all medications, allergies (especially to iodine or contrast dye), and if you are or could be pregnant.
- You may be asked to stop certain medications like blood thinners a few days prior.
- Typically, no special diet is required, but you may be asked to arrive with a full bladder.
- You will be asked to sign a consent form after the procedure is explained.
- Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing to the appointment.
- Empty your bladder just before the procedure as instructed by the medical team.
Risks & possible complications

- Allergic reaction to the contrast dye, though this is rare with modern agents.
- Discomfort or a burning sensation during urination for a short period after the test.
- Minor bleeding or irritation from the catheter site.
- Very low radiation exposure from the X-rays used.
- Extremely rare risk of bladder perforation from the catheter.
Recovery & hospital stay
- You can usually resume normal activities and diet immediately after the procedure.
- Drink plenty of water for the next 24-48 hours to help flush out the contrast dye and prevent infection.
- You may experience mild burning during the first few urinations; this is normal and should subside quickly.

My dad was admitted to MGM...
My dad was admitted to MGM with a bad fever and we were all worried. Dr. Ramya Shri was the one who really talked to us. She didn't just give medical updates; she explained things in a way we could understand, told us what to watch for at home, and actually listened to our concerns. It made a stressful time much easier to handle.
