Having a flexible cystoscopy is quicker than you may think.
A flexible cystoscopy is a procedure to check for any problems in your bladder using a flexible telescope (cystoscope).
A flexible cystoscopy starts from £2,100.
Our flexible cystoscopy package prices include the cost of your surgery and all appropriate aftercare appointments. Our costs include all surgery fees and aftercare appointments with our Consultants.
However, any pre-surgery diagnostic tests and your consultant’s outpatient appointment consultation fee are charged separately. We provide fixed term monthly payment plans over one to five years with no deposit required. If you decide to pay over 12 months, you will pay interest-free. If you are paying for a longer period, you will pay 9.9% APR.
Our flexible payment options help you spread the cost of your payment across a time period that suits you. More details on our flexible payment options can be found here.
*This is a guide price for patients who are paying for their own treatment. The actual cost of your treatment will be confirmed in writing at the time of booking.
You may be getting pain, blood in your urine or repeated infections, or you may have an irritable bladder (a sudden and uncontrolled urge to pass urine). If your doctor does see a problem during the cystoscopy, they may perform a biopsy (removing small pieces of tissue).
A scan may give some information about the cause of the problem, but a flexible cystoscopy often leads to a diagnosis. It is possible to have a rigid cystoscopy that allows your surgeon to treat certain problems with your bladder and urinary tubes. However, a rigid cystoscopy involves a general or spinal anaesthetic.
A flexible cystoscopy usually takes about 5 minutes. They may squeeze some local anaesthetic jelly into your urethra to help prevent infection and reduce discomfort.
Your doctor will pass the cystoscope into your urethra. Your doctor will pass fluid through the cystoscope and into your bladder to help them make the diagnosis. They will use the cystoscope to look for any problems in the lining of your bladder. If your doctor finds a small growth or stone, it may be possible to remove it through the cystoscope.
You should be able to go home the same day, after you have passed urine. You should be able to return to work the day after the cystoscopy unless you are told otherwise. The healthcare team will tell you what was found during the cystoscopy and discuss with you any treatment or follow-up you need.
Regular exercise should improve your long-term health. Before you start exercising, ask the healthcare team or your GP for advice.
