Infection: The endoscopic process can introduce bacteria into the urinary tract, causing infection, the patient can be given antibiotics before and after cystoscopy to prevent infection Bleeding: Endoscopy causes damage to the urethral mucosa, bladder bleeding, depending on the extent, the treating doctor will have appropriate treatment, usually urethral catheterization and continuous bladder lavage. Pain: The patient will have a feeling of abdominal pain, burning when urinating, this condition will decrease over time Bladder perforation in the lateral wall position due to stimulation of the obturator nerve causing leg jerks: Extraperitoneal perforation is common. , depending on the lesion, can be treated conservatively if the perforation is incomplete or open surgery if the perforation is complete.
