There are two types of cystoscopy for men: one is cystoscopy under local anesthesia and the other is painless cystoscopy. For a cystoscopy under local anesthesia, the cost may be about$500; for a painless cystoscopy, the cost may be about$1200. For cystoscopy, it is recommended that you should think it through before the procedure and if the pain tolerance is low, you can do a painless cystoscopy. If it is tolerated, do a general cystoscopy. A general cystoscopy is performed by local anesthesia. You can give lidocaine hydrochloride gel in the urethra to lubricate and anesthetize the anterior and posterior urethra sufficiently before performing cystoscopy, which is not particularly painful and can be tolerated.
