Định Nghĩa và Ý Nghĩa của "cystoscopy"

What is "cystoscopy"?

Cystoscopy is a medical procedure used to examine the inside of the bladder and the urethra, which is the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body. During the procedure, a thin, flexible tube with a light and camera at the end, called a cystoscope, is inserted through the urethra and into the bladder. This allows doctors to see any abnormalities or issues, such as infections, tumors, or stones, and to take samples or perform small treatments if needed. Cystoscopy helps diagnose and manage conditions affecting the urinary system.
