How long is recovery from cytosurethocopy surgery?
Cystoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that usually takes about 10-15 minutes to perform. Recovery time from cystoscopy is typically quick, and most people are able to go home within a few hours.
Following the procedure, you may experience some discomfort, such as:
- Slight pain or burning during urination
- Frequent urination
- Cloudy or bloody urine
- Pelvic pain
- Nausea
- Vomiting
These side effects usually go away within a few days. However, if you experience severe pain, fever, or chills, you should call your doctor immediately.
Here are some tips for helping you recover from cystoscopy:
- Drink plenty of fluids. This will help to flush out the dye from your body and reduce discomfort during urination.
- Avoid strenuous activity for 24-48 hours after the procedure. This will help to prevent bleeding or infection.
- Take over-the-counter pain medication, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, to relieve discomfort.
- Apply a cold compress to your lower abdomen to reduce swelling.
- Soak in a warm bath to help relieve pain and discomfort.
If you have any questions about your recovery from cystoscopy, be sure to talk to your doctor.
