Material from your own body or from elsewhere has been removed from your bladder.

The urinary passages include the ureters, bladder and urethra. Urine flows from both kidneys into the bladder via the ureters. The urethra channels the urine outward from the bladder.

Material from your own body in your bladder may be urinary stones, for example. Or there may have been some bleeding inside the bladder. Clotted blood may then remain there. Material from elsewhere can get into the bladder if it is intentionally or accidentally pushed into the urethra. which may cause discomfort. The urine may then be unable to be excreted properly from the bladder. This can cause pain and inflammation.

You had a thin, flexible tube inserted into your bladder. This can either be done via a small incision in the abdomen or via the urethra. A camera is attached to the end of the tube. This camera then sends images to a screen during the examination. Various tools can be pushed into the bladder through the tube. In this way bladder stones can be broken up, for example. Bladder stones, blood clots or other material can then be removed using the flexible tube.
