The xray, ultra-sound and then the scope. Your doctor must suspect something that the xray and ultra sound does not expose. Best Wishes In a message dated 2/14/2010 1:02:59 P.M. Central Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
Hi all-- i'm sure I have had a long going UTI--well my Doc does not want to do any cultures unles i'm deathly sick----he say's all supra-pubic wearers always have 2 or more colonizations in the bladder from bad bacteria anyway. He wants to do a Cystoscopy ------- I don't know why because each of the past 2 years he went in looking for stones-and saw none. They want me to sign this form saying I am aware of risks of bleeding-infection-injury to bladder and uretha-anasthesia risks and other serious risks requiring further surguries.--- it also say's perform biopsies of bladder-remove clots and cauterize bleeding areas---------THIS ALL SCARES ME AND MY WIFE. We are wondering if we should change urologists once again----(-we left the 1st urologist because he mostly did surguries and did not like follow up treatment for infections and etc.) Do any of you have an opinion on this?? I have not had any uti treatments or anti-biotics in over a year? thanks for any input or thoughts on this, DAN H>***
