Had A Cystoscopy. Experienced Burning In Prostate Urethra Area. Is That Normal? Will Ejaculation Be Effected?

default
Posted on Thu, 28 Jun 2012
Question: Just had a cystoscopy today, the flexible scope, and I experience burning pain in prostate urethra area when I pee....like razor blades. Well, when He inserted the instrument it burned and was a sharp pain like a knife when passing through the prostate. Is this normal? I have read a lot of inquiries that others didn't experience this kind of pain during procedure, but the urologist said that everything looked healthy....could my pain be due to tensing up? Also, I was curious about ejaculation and if that was affected too, and when I did tonight it felt good at first, but during onset of ejaculation it burned and felt like a hot knife coming out...grusome, but true. Is this normal? Should I wait for sex? How long until normal? The doctor suggested I try Finasteride, but that I looked healthy inside. It is just the passing throught the prostate part with so much pain...is this an indicator of a stricture or problem? Also, the pain as mentioned above?
