Urethroscopy is an invasive examination and treatment modality through the urethra, mainly used to observe and treat urethral lesions such as strictures, foreign bodies, tumors, cysts and other diseases.
1. Urethral stricture: the degree of urethral stricture, the color of urethral mucosa and the passage of urethra can be observed through urethroscopy to understand the location and degree of urethral stricture, and the stricture can be cut through urethroscopy. Attention to encounter stenosis should not be inserted and released with force, so as not to cause urethral perforation.
2. Urethral foreign bodies: small foreign bodies, stones or diseased tissues in the urethra or bladder can be treated under urethroscopy.
3. Urethral tumor: transurethroscopy can check the tumor site and can take biopsy of neoplastic organisms in the urethra for clear diagnosis.
4. Urethral cysts: Urethroscopy can clarify the location and opening of urethral cysts, and provide a basis for the selection of subsequent treatment options.
Urethroscopy is an invasive examination, which should be carried out in a regular hospital after completing the relevant examinations. This test is not recommended for people with small bladder capacity, acute inflammation and systemic bleeding disorders.
During urethroscopy, the mucous membrane of the urethra may be damaged, resulting in hematuria, infection, etc. If adverse reactions occur, they should be promptly treated under the guidance of a doctor.
