hiya everyone..
Im a female teenager and am due to have a rigid cystoscopy and urethral dilation in 2 weeks under general aneasthetic.. The thing is i have never had to have general aneasthetic before and im terrified!
I would just like to find out if anyone else has had this procedure before and what it was like for them?
Also whats general aneasthetic like?
And the other thing i would like to know is what will happen when i arrive at the hospital? what will happen while im there until i go home?

I have never had a cystoscopy but I did have surgery under general anesthesia a week and a half ago. First, if you have questions, don't be afraid to ask you parents or doctor. Second, general anesthesia is easy! You just take an awesome nap! The beginning gas is a little stinky but from there it is nothing. You will be sore later I'm sure but the actual anesthesia is very easy! I wish you the best of luck an no worries!
