bladder biopsies

A bladder biopsy is a medical procedure in which a small tissue sample is removed from the bladder lining for examination. This is typically done using a thin instrument called a cystoscope, which is inserted through the urethra. The tissue sample is then analyzed in a laboratory to check for cancer, infections, or other bladder conditions. The procedure helps doctors diagnose issues accurately and plan appropriate treatments. Bladder biopsies are generally safe, and patients might experience mild discomfort or bleeding afterward, which usually resolves quickly.
