Results

By Mayo Clinic staff

In some cases, your doctor may be able to discuss the results of your cystoscopy immediately after your procedure.

In other cases, your doctor may discuss your results at a follow-up appointment. For instance, if your cystoscopy involved collecting a tissue sample (biopsy) to test for bladder cancer, your doctor will send that sample to a laboratory. When the tests are completed, your doctor will let you know the results.

Ask your doctor when you can expect the results of your cystoscopy.
