Al,
Doll, if you've had a colonoscopy done you won't have a problem with a cystoscope. There is sooo much more discomfort involved in sticking 6 feet of scope into one's intestine and a thin urethrascope barely 14 inches in total length. You will do just fine. A little valium wouldn't be a bad idea. It's clear you are worried but try to relax...it's not a terrible procedure.

Al,

My husband had a cysto in the doctor's office.  He was given an IV of valium and he didn't really remember anything.  He was a little groggy when he came out of there and they wheeled him to our car.  He did have a few bladder spasms and they sent home a sample of something to control those.  After a few hours he was back to normal.  Hope this helps!
