postcystoscopy in female
by caca110, Jan 20, 2009 12:00PM
I had a cystoscopy 5 days ago with spinal anaesthesia. Because of cystitis cystica and follicular cystitis, bladder resection was performed (0.5cm). My symptoms isn't now, and antibiotic therapy is given. How can I be careful? Is sexual activity harmful?

How are you? During TUR surgery, a cystoscope is passed into the bladder through the urethra. A tool called a resectoscope is used to remove the damaged tissue. Following surgery, a catheter may be placed in the urethra to help stop bleeding and to prevent blockage of the urethra. When the bleeding has stopped, the catheter is removed. You may need to stay in the hospital 1 to 4 days.
You may feel the need to urinate frequently for a while after the surgery, but this should improve over time. You may have blood in your urine for up to 2 to 3 weeks following surgery.You may be instructed to avoid strenuous activity for about 3 weeks following TUR.
I would suggest that you abstain from sexual activity for 3 weeks, as this might cause bleeding at the surgical site.
Best.
