You should be able to get back to normal quite quickly after a cystoscopy. How long it takes to recover depends if you had a flexible cystoscopy (using local anaesthetic gel) or a rigid cystoscopy (under general anaesthetic or spinal anaesthetic).

Going home after a flexible cystoscopy

You'll be able to go home shortly after a flexible cystoscopy, once you've emptied your bladder. There's usually no need to wait in the hospital until the anaesthetic has completely worn off.

Going home after a rigid cystoscopy

If you have a rigid cystoscopy, you'll probably need to stay in hospital for a few hours until the anaesthetic starts to wear off. You can go home once you're feeling better and you've emptied your bladder. Most people leave hospital the same day, but sometimes an overnight stay might be needed. You'll need to arrange for someone to take you home as you will not be able to drive for at least 24 hours.

Getting back to normal after a flexible cystoscopy

You can return to your normal activities – including work, exercise and having sex – as soon as you feel able to after a flexible cystoscopy. This will often be later the same day or possibly the day after.

Getting back to normal after a rigid cystoscopy

After a rigid cystoscopy:

rest at home for a day or two – you may need to take a couple of days off work

make sure someone stays with you for the first 24 hours

don't drive or drink alcohol for at least 24 hours

You can usually return to your normal activities – including work, exercise and having sex – when you feel able to.

After effects of a cystoscopy

After a cystoscopy, it's normal to have:

a burning or stinging sensation when peeing

some blood in your pee, which may turn it slightly pink

a need to pee more often than usual

These side effects should pass after a day or two.

Drinking plenty of water during the first few days can help. You can also take painkillers such as paracetamol to reduce any discomfort.

When to get medical advice

Some problems could be caused by complications of a cystoscopy, such as an infection.

From now until you snip the cord, a lot may happen that no one will have prepared you for ahead of time. There's no way to anticipate every possible scenario, but you need not be completely in the dark. It's also good to have an idea of ways you can be helpful to the mom-to-be. The thing about men and pregnancy is that there's only so much you can do -- the expectant mother really does all the work. They also get all the attention. We all know they deserves it -- and then some -- but it's a common source of tension for couples during pregnancy, says Leonard Boulanger, a clinical social worker and fatherhood specialist for the Visiting Nurse Association and Hospice of Vermont and New Hampshire. "In the whole process, the father feels that he is being ignored," Boulanger tells WebMD. Getting involved early and "at every level," Boulanger says, not only makes things easier for the mother, but it also keeps you from feeling left out.
