    cystoscope
    I think it is like a scope to check the Bladder?/ and maybe the urethra also. i do not want to do it. i think that it is a precaution. i went to urologist to see if i needed to do something about the blood. oh well. might look it up on internet. hate to do that because it might scare me. sephie
