Preparing for a cystoscopy or TURBT procedure can feel daunting, but a little planning goes a long way. 🌟 Discussing what to expect with your doctor and following their instructions—like staying hydrated 💧 and adhering to any fasting or medication guidelines—can help things go smoothly. Some members also recommend asking about pain management options or anesthesia details beforehand for extra peace of mind.

After the procedure, it’s common to experience mild discomfort, some blood in the urine, and fatigue. Resting, staying hydrated, and avoiding strenuous activities can support recovery. Be sure to contact your doctor if you experience severe pain, fever, or signs of infection.
