Well, to be clear, MOST flexible cystoscopes are smaller than MOST
urinary catheters. Now, I was a little surprised to hear that your
urologist uses a rigid cystoscope. I don't know what the diameter of that
might be, there are several different arrangements.

Uh oh ... there goes that anxiety level ...

No, I think this will be ok. Thanks again for your help, Howard.

Yeah, sorry about that. However, it's unlikely that your urologist would
want you to be in pain, and if he didn't have a system for office cystoscopy
that his patients were OK with, he'd change the system.
