The tests you have had so far point to the water-works below the bladder 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.
As an alternative, the surgeon can flush some anaesthetic jelly into your urethra so that you will have only a minimal discomfort when he passes the telescope up into you. If you are awake for the operation, you will have your legs held up in stirrups. A nurse will chat to you during the operation.
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. Sometimes, after the operation, it is 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. The problem will steadily get worse. Also you will not get the benefit of early treatment and this can be extremely important particularly if it is something like a developing cancer which if diagnosed at an early stage could be treated.
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 that 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 the hospital with you.
On the ward, you may be checked for past illnesses and may have special tests, ready for the operation. Please tell the nurses of any allergies to tablets, medicines or dressings. 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.
Chronic pain that does not respond to medication or conservative management and significantly impacts daily activities and quality of life.
Significant unintentional weight loss or gain that may indicate an underlying systemic condition requiring specialist evaluation.
Repeated episodes of infection, prolonged fever, or failure to respond to standard antibiotic therapy suggesting immune or structural issues.
Gradual inability to perform daily tasks — walking, climbing stairs, or self-care — due to advancing disease that may require surgical correction.
CT, MRI, ultrasound, or blood tests showing an abnormality — mass, lesion, or organ dysfunction — requiring specialist surgical or medical management.
Medications, physiotherapy, and lifestyle changes have not provided adequate relief. Specialist surgical opinion is now recommended as the next step.
