A cystoscopy for women may cost$480 for a regular cystoscopy and about$1,000 for a painless cystoscopy. For a cystoscopy in women, the main thing is to look for bleeding from the bladder, neoplasm in the bladder, normal ureteral openings bilaterally, and elevation of the bladder neck. Cystoscopy for women is generally easier because women’s urethra is shorter and straighter, usually 4cm, so women don’t need to have a painless cystoscopy. Before a woman has a cystoscopy, it is recommended to drink plenty of water and to wash the perineum effectively, so that the chances of retrograde infection from cystoscopy will be significantly reduced.
