Cystoscopy Flexible Male

A flexible cystoscopy for men is a straightforward and quick outpatient procedure that usually takes about ten minutes.

Your healthcare team will discuss the results of your test. If a biopsy was taken, you will need to wait for these results to come back from the laboratory.

You should be able to go home on the same day.

As soon as you feel able, you can return to your normal activities including work, exercise and having sex. This can be as soon as the same day.

Normally, men feel some discomfort when peeing and they may see a small amount of blood in their pee for a day or two.

You will receive a formal quotation price following your consultation with one of our expert surgeons. This formal quote for your flexible cystoscopy will be valid for 60 days and includes unlimited aftercare.

Ramsay is recognised by all major medical insurers. Flexible cystoscopy is covered by most medical insurance policies. We advise you to obtain written authorisation from your insurance provider before starting your treatment.

We have a number of finance options if you are paying for the procedure yourself. These include:

• Interest-free finance – 0% interest, no deposit and affordable monthly instalments.
• All-inclusive Total Care – a one-off pre-agreed payment for access to all the treatment you need for complete reassurance.
• Pay as you go – flexible funding to pay for treatment as and when costs arise. Often used if your treatment costs are difficult to assess.

Flexible cystoscopy (male) is a procedure that uses a flexible telescope to check for problems in a man’s bladder.

Our highly experienced urologists will assess and advise you at a convenient consultation without waiting at a Ramsay Hospital of your choice. They will take a detailed medical history, examine your abdomen, pelvis and prostate gland, and ask about your urinary symptoms. Other tests and investigations may be arranged on-site including blood tests and ultrasound.

Many of our hospitals have dedicated state-of-the-art endoscopy suites that use the latest equipment and technology and are JAG accredited for their high-quality endoscopy services. A flexible cystoscopy (male) is performed in an outpatient setting and you will benefit from a fast turnaround of biopsy results or further treatment if needed.

Patient safety is our utmost concern. For peace of mind, all of our hospitals follow strict protocols to control and prevent infection, including Covid 19.
