Had a flexible cystoposcopy when I was getting continual UTS's. Had a local anaestetic, and it was virtually painless. Was able to watch on the screen, and saw as they found a small growth. Cannot remember any after effects all. I was just relieved that something definite had been found that explained my painful, continous UTI's. Four weeks later I was taken in for this to be removed for a biop. (under a general).
Found to be benign, and that was that. Had a further flexible cystoscopy a few months back to check if there had been any regrowth. No, there had not and I was discharged. Again, totally painless and pretty quick, and no after effects. As there was again done under a local, I did not drive myself to and from the hospital, but TBH, felt that I could well have done so.
