hi everyone  
ive been having a problems with my urine and my Dr has referred me to get a cystscopy which is on Monday 9.20am  
I’m very worried about having this done and what makes it worse is my aniexty I currently have.such bad aniexty with leaving my house so to get to the hospital and inside the hospital is a task in its self. is there any males that have had this.done and could let me know roughly how long it takes? on the letter it says allow 2/3 hours for this but with my aniexty I really don’t know if i will be able to stay in the hospital for this long  
thanks in advance for replies

I’m so sorry I’m so late to this discussion. You are not alone and I can only hope it went ok for you.

I am a male with the same issues. Unfortunately, I learned some things the hard way. My cystoscopy didn’t go well. It was humiliating and excruciating. But here’s a few things I have learned.

1. Express your exact fears to the doctor, and allow him/her to create a game plan to address them.
2. Demand anesthesia. DO NOT believe them when they say it doesn’t hurt. Don’t believe them when they call it a “minor discomfort.”
3. Run away from any doctor who doesn’t take your fears seriously. I found a new doctor and I was told that if I ever need a cystoscopy again, it will be done in the OR to make sure I’m comfortable throughout it.
