Your doctor will then lift your penis upward.
A well-lubricated cystoscope is gently inserted into the urethra,
the opening at the head of the penis, and slowly guided inward.
When the cystoscope reaches the back of the penis, your doctor will pull the penis downward in order to create a straight path into the bladder.
Once the cystoscope is inside the bladder, your doctor will inject a small amount of water through the cystoscope and into the bladder. Medical Malpractice
The water serves to expand the bladder, helping your doctor to better examine the interior. It also helps by washing away any blood or remaining urine.
You may feel a sense of fullness as though you need to urinate. You’ll be encouraged to relax and not to try to retain the water in your bladder.
As the team completes it’s inspection, they’ll be looking for suspicious tissues. If they find bladder stones, your doctor may try to crush these so that they can pass out of the bladder during normal urination. medical malpractice
If the team finds a suspicious growth they will use a special grasping tool to take a sample of tissue in order to send to a laboratory for analysis.
When the inspection is complete, your doctor will remove the cystoscope and you’ll be asked to empty your bladder.
Your doctor will probably ask you to wear a temporary Foley catheter. Malpractice Medical
A Foley catheter is a narrow tube inserted through your urethra and into your bladder. The catheter is connected to a bag that is attached to your leg by a strap. While the Foley catheter is in place, urine will pass from your bladder into the bag. You will not need to urinate into a toilet.
The nurse will show you how to change the bag when it is full. An appointment will be made for you to return to the doctor’s office in a couple of days to have the catheter removed.
As soon as the anesthesia wears off and you feel comfortable, you’ll be allowed to leave.

Your doctor has recommended that you undergo a Cystoscopy. But what exactly does that mean?
The lower urinary tract allows your body to store and release urine.
It’s made up of two parts, the bladder and the urethra.
Your bladder is a hollow organ that expands as it fills with urine. Because it is made of muscular tissue, it can also contract and force urine to pass out of the body, through the urethra. Your urethra carries urine from the bladder to the outside of your body.
Your doctor feels that it is necessary to examine the interior of the urethra and bladder, to try to determine the cause of a problem that you may be having.
Medical Malpractice
Symptoms that may call for a routine Cystoscopy include:

* Persistent infection of the urinary tract
* Bladder stones
* Bleeding while urinating
* Irritation due to polyps, or
* Changes to the bladder caused by cancer.
Medical Malpractice
Cystoscopy is a simple procedure during which your doctor will insert a well-lubricated, instrument called a cystoscope through your urethra and into your bladder.
The cystoscope allows your doctor to visually inspect the interior of your bladder. It also allows your doctor to remove small pieces of tissue for later examination and even to crush small bladder stones, should any be present.
Any tissue that your doctor removes from your bladder will be sent immediately to a laboratory for analysis. Your doctor will ask the laboratory to check for any sign of cancer or other abnormality.

Your doctor has recommended that you have radical mastectomy. But what does that actually mean?

Radical Mastectomy is the removal of the breast and surrounding tissue. In most cases, mastectomy is required in order to remove cancerous tissue from the body.
Medical Malpractice
The extent of tissue removed is determined by the amount of cancer present in your body.
Medical Malpractice
A Radical Mastectomy is the most extensive form of breast cancer surgery. It calls for the complete removal not only of the breast, but also of the lymph nodes, as well as part or possibly all of the chest muscle that lies underneath the breast.
Medical Malpractice
Lymph nodes are small junctions that join the vessels that make up the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system circulates a bodily fluid called lymph in the same way that the circulatory system carries blood.
Medical Malpractice
Your doctor has recommended that you undergo a radical mastectomy because the cancer in your breast may have begun to move into the lymph nodes under your arm as well as into your chest muscle.
medical malpractice
This procedure may result in the loss of some muscle strength in the arm on the effected side of the body and will permanently change the outward shape and appearance of your chest. So make sure that you ask your doctor to carefully explain the reasons behind this recommendation.

Your doctor has recommended that you have a total mastectomy. But what does that actually mean?

Total Mastectomy is the removal of the breast.

In most cases, mastectomy is required in order to remove cancerous tissue from the body.

The extent of tissue removed is determined by the amount of cancer present in your body.
medical malpractice
A total mastectomy involves the removal the breast, but not the removal of lymph nodes or chest muscle that lies underneath the breast.

Your doctor has recommended that you undergo a total mastectomy because the cancer in your breast has progressed to the point that it is in danger of spreading into other parts of your body and the only way to make sure that all of the disease has been eliminated is to remove the entire breast.
Medical Malpractice
This is major surgery and the procedure will permanently change the outward shape and appearance of your chest. So make sure that you ask your doctor to carefully explain the reasons behind this recommendation.

In your case, you have lump or thickening in your breast.

It was felt by you or your doctor during a routine breast exam or discovered following a mammogram. Let’s take a moment to look at the reasons why lumps form in breast tissue.

The breast is made of layers of skin, fat and breast tissue – all of which overlay the pectoralis muscle. Breast tissue itself is made up of a network of tiny milk-carrying ducts and there are three ways in which a lump can form among them.

Most women experience periodic changes to their breasts. Cysts are some of the most common kinds of tissues that can grow large enough to be felt and to cause tenderness. Cysts often grow and then shrink without any medical intervention.

A second kind of lump is caused by changes in breast tissue triggered by the growth of a cyst. Even after the cyst itself has gone away, it can leave fibrous tissue behind. This scar tissue can often be large enough to be felt.

The third kind of growth is a tumor. Tumors can be either benign or cancerous and it is concern about this type of growth that has lead your doctor to recommend breast biopsy.

Sometimes you will have breast changes that can not be felt by physical examination alone; but may be seen on a mammogram.

In this video we will focus only on simple needle biopsy – which is the attempt to use a hollow needle to take a sample of the tissue in question.

In order to learn more about the nature of the lump in your breast your doctor would like to surgically remove it.

Most likely, you’re feeling some anxiety about this procedure, which is perfectly understandable. You should realize that it’s natural to feel apprehensive about any kind of biopsy. In some cases, a woman will choose not to have a biopsy simply out of fear.

But ignoring a lump in your breast won’t make it go away.

If you’re feeling anxious, try to remember that the purpose of a biopsy is simply to find out what is going on in your body – so that if you do have a problem, it can be diagnosed and treated as quickly as possible.

If you should decide not to allow your doctor to perform the biopsy, you’ll be leaving yourself at risk for medical problems.

If the suspicious tissue in your breast is benign, most likely you’ll suffer few if any complications. However, if it is cancerous, and it is allowed to grow unchecked – you might be putting your own life at risk.

The bottom line – trust that your doctor is recommending this procedure for your benefit and above all don’t be afraid to ask questions raised by this video and to talk openly about your concerns.
