Boy, 12yo, UK Cystoscopy to investigate bedwetting

My stepson had cystoscopy. The exam took place in Western Europe, UK, 12 years old, period 1980-1989. Had cystoscopy in the doctor's or nurse's office at school. I took him to the exam.

PREPARATIONS

We said something like: The doctor shall look at you down in your stomach. Given enema at home before going. He got to a special preparation room. Had to walk by himself to the exam. Had to undress completely and go to bed. . Taken vitals like temperature, heart rate and blood pressure. Was totally naked during exam.

THE PROCEDYRE AS REMEMBERED

They put a flexible snake-like cystoscope in through the urethra. They pumped up and irrigated bladder with water when looking inside.

DIAGNOSES AND FOLLOW-UP

Diagnosis - low bladder capasity. Diagnosis - psychological problems. He got social or psychological councelling or a training program.

REASON AND JUDGEMENT

The reason was problems with urination. Stepson was still wetting the bed at 12. It was useful, but felt humiliating or awful.


COMMENTS

This seems to be a simple cystoscopy procedure to investigate a manifest problem. In some communities around the world schools have medical rooms to perform procedures like this. In this case it was done to investigate a problem. But in some communities all kids have this procedure done around that age as a part of the early pubery assessment. In spite of this it is not thought much about to the common public.

Even though not told, the boy probably got analgesic and lubricationg fluid injected through his urethra and probable some relaxing medication before the procedure.
