I had my cystoscopy last friday, 20 Jan 2012, but I got a problem now. I lost the urge to pee, it seems like I don't feel that urge to go pee anymore. Anyone experienced that after the cystoscopy?? Please let me know. Thank you.

I had this done today, with a flexible cord, it hardly hurt at all!! Could hardly tell it was inside me, only pain was passing the prostate but that was only a few seconds... Overall pain rating 3/10, felt more uncomfatable of the feeling of needing to go toilet but only lasted a few mins so was ok.
I agree with rherman1025's comment

Based on my first experience the uro offered me the GA because he said that if I am comfortable then it is better for both him and me. I am not traumatized and he is able to get a better look-see. But if I am moving and squirming then it is more difficult for him and could cause me more pain.

This procedure is nothing but TORTURE--pure and simple!!!! I had this done twice. The first time was about 2 years ago with just a sedative and numbing gel. I can tell you it was just like dying a SLOW DEATH. I moaned, I groaned, I yelled!!!! The doc and nurse kept saying "1 more minute". I said I don't have 1 more minute. Can't bear it. They couldn't keep me held down any longer so they terminated the procedure. Second time 3 months ago was a breeze with a general anesthesia

rherman is right, I had it done a few days ago, it wasnt that bad, 3 seconds of a slight stinging sensation inside as he was inserting the scope, piece of cake! although he did have to special order an extra long scope for me.

I have had two. I would highly recommend not getting sedation or general anesthesia. These narcotics can cause you not to urinate as they can really do a number on the prostate. Then you're looking at a catheter. The fortunate part is the pain is for a very short time. As for people who did not have pain, you are lucky because it was hell and everyone I know that has had one says the same thing.
just had it done yesterday at my doctors's office. it is normal to get scared, but dont worry i only felt burning sensation for 2 seconds, thats it!! I was scared when I saw the instrument that they used, but like I said no pain at all. The only thing you will feel is feeling of urinating.

I have had this done twice.
The first time was agony. No ceremony, just ram it in. The second time was with a different surgeon. He took a minute or two to use a syringe to inject some numbing gel into the penis, then coated the end of the scope with lubricant and chemistry. Very uncomfortable, but not painful. Also, no post-scope bleeding the second time. ....Just depends who is doing it !
