Is cystoscopy a standard procedure prior to TURP?

Hi Dr. Kohler,
Just a quick question: I had a urodynamic test done and found it to be extremely painful and experienced a lot of discomfort...probably due to a low-pain threshold. I have a cystoscopy procedure coming up in a few weeks. Do I have anything to fear in this regard? Can a patient get light sedation coupled with gobs of lidocaine? Thanks in advance!

@pconnection I demanded to be put under for my cystoscopy! I have talked to friends who didn't go under and they said it was moderately painful, but not unbearable. I decided I wasn't trying to prove anything so why choose to experience any pain I don't have to. I got sedation by choice when I had a tooth pulled a few years back, so why not now, right. If you have medicare plus a plan G supplement, it will all be taken care of 100%. Good luck.
