Possible Complications
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have cystoscopy, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Accidental damage of the bladder wall with the cystoscope (very rare)
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
- Active infection
- Diabetes
- Bleeding disorder
Be sure to discuss these risks with your doctor before the procedure.

- Signs of infection, including fever and chills

In case of an emergency, call 911.

In early 2021 i suddenly started urinating blood. Scared me beyond belief. After a Cystoscopy ( my first one ever ) i was diagnosed with bladder cancer. The cancer was successfully removed and so far has not returned. I have had a total now of six Cystoscopies including the surgery with no side effects until now. Four days after my last Cystoscopy i have found it difficult to empty my bladder as well as a mild form of a weak stream / restriction when urinating. No pain but just not the normal "pleasant feeling" when urinating that i have enjoyed all of my life. No other symptoms exsist so far. I have to wait two more days until a Monday now to call the Doctor that has preformed all of my Cystosopies and Bladder cancer surgery to see what course of action, if any, that i need to take.
After i have this issue resolved, i hope to return here to finish my boring story in hopes it might help others that have the same issue that i am currently having.
I had a cystoscopy procedure 2 wks. ago and prior to the procedure my doctor never told me about possible side effects.After the procedure I had a UTi,blood in my urine and pain when I urinate.I wish I didn't have the procedure .
