Flexible cystoscopy
I have a flexible cystoscopy booked in for next week, and im kinda nervous/anxious as;
A) people i dont know will see that area, and being transfem it does cause a significant amount of dysphoria.
B) im anxious about the procudure itsself, as they are going to be sticking a camera up into my bladder and being autistic i dont know if any of the lubrication/numbing cream/camera itsself will be a sensory nightmare for me
C) i dont know what they are going to find through it,
D) will the let me keep my plushies with me?
E) i wear conitnence aids on a daily basis due to having a brain blader disconect, and i dont want to pee on any of the doctors/nurses/specilicests as the procudure is taking place, as well as the logistics of it. (E is the one im least worried about,,, as a urology clininc i think that they would deal with this on a daily basis)
I have listed these in order of what is causing the most anxiety/stress, can anyone help with any of it? Has anyone had a similar procudure and what was the experience like?
