Usually, a soft cystoscopy is not significantly painful. A soft cystoscopy is a soft cystoscope that causes less damage to the urethra and bladder. Discomfort may occur after the examination alone, but it is mild and can be tolerated by most people. Cystoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that requires a special instrument to enter the patient’s bladder and check for lesions inside the bladder, such as the presence of polyps or stones inside the bladder. The patient needs to fast before the examination, and the doctor will first gently insert the sterilized instrument into the bladder. The whole process is relatively short, and can usually be completed in about fifteen minutes, so there is no need to worry too much. After the cystoscopy, patients need to rest properly and pay more attention to observe the urination. If there are other abnormalities such as hematuria, they should go to the regular hospital for consultation and treatment in time.
