Radiation Cystitis - flexible cystoscopy requested. What does this mean?

Hello finished radiotherapy jan 2025 haven't been well since with bowel and bladder problems. Urologist says possible radiation cystitis and wants flexible cystocopy. What does this mean

  • Hi there and thanks for posting

    I am sorry to hear about your past treatment for cancer and the problems you have been having since. It sounds like you are having a tough time but it is good this is now being looked into.

    A cystoscopy is a test where they pass a small camera on a little tube into the bladder to see what may be causing your symptoms. There is more information about having a cystoscopy on the NHS web pages.

    I hope you know more soon and that a solution is found to help you feel better.

    Do get back in touch if you need to or if you prefer give us a call on 0808 800 4040, weekdays, 9-5.

    Best wishes,

    Naomi
