What is a cystoscopy and why might I need one?

A cystoscopy is a procedure that allows your urologist, such as Dr. Golda, to look directly inside your bladder and urethra using a thin, lighted instrument called a cystoscope. It might be recommended to investigate symptoms like blood in the urine, frequent UTIs, bladder pain, or difficulty urinating. It can also be used to take biopsies or perform minor treatments.
