Cystoscopy Flexible Male at Tees Valley Hospital in Middlesbrough

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.
