Hi everyone.
Well my cysto was scheduled for Jan 12th, last wensday. I went in for it. Spent four hours waiting in post op in my little hospital gown and booties and was told I didn't need one. They had the one from before about four years ago. It showed nothing except alittle inflammation that might be mild IC according to the previous Uro. I spoke to the new uro on wens before I was to go in and told him about my symptoms and how if I do the diet strict I have no problems at all so he said I really didn't need the cysto since I had it before and I was feeling better lately.
I am pretty gald :bow: since I didn't want to get it done. They don't put you asleep here for the cysto & hydro. Im postive they don't because I asked him on wens. Also he said for biopsi they wouldn't put you asleep. I asked wouldn't it be painful? and he said sure but due to how fast it was under 15 mins, that it didn't warrant being put to sleep. Also they won't give you anything for anxiety. They just put some freezing stuff on the opening to the urethra and do it.
So anyway I was pretty gald I didn't have to get it done that way. Is this noraml? or barbaric? I can't see me doing it without alot of pain. Also he never gives pain killers or antibiotics afterwards....The last time I had it done I had antibiotics at least as well some ativan to help relax. Anyway those poor people who were sitting in there with me - probley 50 in those last four hours were done.....
Is this a normal way to do cysto & biopsi?
