The tests you have had so far point to your water-works (urinary system) as the cause of your trouble. It is necessary to look inside the urinary system to find out what is going on. A special telescope is used to see, or sometimes to take X-rays. At the same time narrow parts can be widened, stones taken out, pieces of the lining taken out, and diseased parts burnt out as needed.
A narrow tube is passed inside the penis in the male, (or into the front passage in the female), up into the bladder. The surgeon then slides a telescope and other instruments up the first tube.
He then looks around, or takes X-rays, or operates as planned. Finally all the equipment is taken out. After the operation, it is sometimes necessary to pass a tube (a catheter) back up into the bladder. This will allow urine to drain freely into a bag for a time. Usually you can go home the same day. If there are any problems with the operation, you will need to stay longer. The doctors will let you know about this at the time.
Doing more X-rays, scans and other tests will not help find out what the trouble is. To find out, at this point, it is necessary to have a look inside the bladder and higher up towards the kidneys. The simplest step is to slide telescopes and other instruments through the front passage into the bladder and beyond. Bigger operations such as passing a telescope through the skin into the kidney are not needed at this stage. In the same way the treatment can be done by this route. Open operations are not needed at this stage.
If there is a growth in the bladder, burning or cutting the diseased lining away by this route is usually all that is needed. Sometimes a drug treatment washed into the bladder is very helpful. X-ray treatment is usually held in reserve. If you do nothing you will not find out what the trouble is. Also you will not get the benefit of early treatment by this route which in certain situations, such as a developing cancer, it is absolutely vital to get a diagnosis and start treatment as early as possible. The problem will steadily get worse.
Stop smoking and try to get your weight down if you are overweight. (See Healthy Living). If you know that you have problems with your blood pressure, your heart, or your lungs, ask your family doctor to check that these are under control. Check the hospital's advice about taking the Pill or hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Check you have a relative or friend who can come with you to the hospital, take you home, and look after you after the operation. Sort out any tablets, medicines, inhalers that you are using. Keep them in their original boxes and packets. Bring them to hospital with you.
On the ward, you may be checked for past illnesses and may have special tests to make sure that you are well prepared and that you can have the operation as safely as possible. Please tell the nurses of any allergies to tablets, medicines or dressings, especially to iodine or post X-ray injections. You will have the operation explained to you and will be asked to fill in an operation consent form. Many hospitals now run special preadmission clinics, where you visit for an hour or two, a few weeks or so before the operation for these checks.
Recognising these signs early can help you seek timely treatment and achieve the best possible outcomes.
