Cystoscopy

Under anesthesia, the urologist examines the bladder with an endoscope. The bladder is allowed to distend with water to stretch it. This may provide pain relief. If there are ulcers in the bladder, the urologist can either inject them with numbing medicine or eliminate them using cautery or a laser.
