The need for cystoscopy is recognized primarily on the basis of symptoms and diagnostic needs, not on the basis of age. Specific cases are analyzed as follows.
1. If there is prolonged and unexplained hematuria, then it is necessary to perform cystoscopy, there is a possibility that the bleeding is caused by bladder pathology, and cystoscopy is able to visualize the bleeding site.
2. If there are bladder stones, cystoscopy is necessary, because cystoscopy can not only visualize the size of bladder stones and other conditions, but also be able to lithotripsy treatment.
3. If the cause of the disease that has been clearly diagnosed is not related to the bladder, and at the same time, cystoscopy is not related to the treatment of the primary disease, then cystoscopy can not be performed.
To summarize, whether cystoscopy is necessary should be based on the ultrasound results, symptoms and other comprehensive consideration, and timely consultation with a specialist.
