Indications Of Cystoscopy

Hematuria Hematuria is one of the main clinical manifestations of many diseases of the genitourinary system. A large part of hematuria can be cured of malignant tumors, the key lies in early detection, early diagnosis and timely treatment. Cystoscopy is of great significance in the diagnosis of hematuria.
The source of hematuria can be identified. Under direct vision, it is possible to detect whether the bleeding is coming from a lesion in the bladder or from the upper urinary tract, the latter of which can be determined by observing the color change of the urine ejected from the ureteral opening.
The cause of hematuria can be identified. If it is intravesical bleeding, it can not only see the bleeding site, but also often find out the cause of the bleeding. Pyeluria and retrograde pyelography provide objective information for clinical diagnosis, even if the hematuria comes from the upper urinary tract.
Urinary tract infection Patients with urinary tract infections (including specific and non-specific infections) do not respond to anti-infection therapy; Or patients with recurrence after cure were the subjects of all cystoscopy.
Cystoscopy is especially important for adults or children with urinary abnormalities such as persistent urgency, frequent urination, or painful urination, especially when medications are difficult to respond to. The appearance of bladder mirror images (such as inflammation, ulcers, stones, or foreign bodies, deformities, etc.) combined with the results of retrograde pyelography (morphological changes or the appearance of destructive lesions) can provide valuable clues for diagnosis
For the treatment of diseases of the bladder system, such as bleeding points in the bladder or papilloma, can be treated by cystoscope with electrocautery; The stones in the bladder can be washed out after being broken up with a stone crusher. Small foreign bodies and diseased tissues in the bladder can be removed by foreign body forceps or biopsy forceps. The ureteral orifice is narrow and can be cut with a scissors (or dilated with a dilator) through a cystoscope.
