Precautions

(1) The urethra and bladder should not be examined when they are in the acute inflammatory stage, as this may cause the inflammation to spread. In addition, acute inflammation of the bladder may cause congestion and make it difficult to distinguish the lesions. (2) If the bladder capacity is too small, below 60 ml, it indicates that the disease is serious and most patients cannot tolerate this examination, which can also easily lead to bladder rupture. (3) Patients who cannot insert a cystoscope due to phimosis, urethral stenosis, or urethral calculi. (4) Patients with bone and joint deformities who cannot adopt the lithotomy position. (5) Women who are menstruating or pregnant for more than 3 months. (6) Patients with severely impaired renal function, signs of uremia, hypertension, and poor heart function.
