Cystitis Treatment in Expert Clinic

Cystitis care at Expert Clinic (Likarnya EKSPERT) in Uzhhorod, Ukraine, includes testing, urologist-led treatment, and endoscopic procedures when indicated. Prof. Andriy Arkatov, a urologist and andrologist, consults through the clinic’s urology and uroginecology service.

Tests for cystitis and bladder conditions

The clinic’s laboratory performs urine cultures, smears, and blood tests. Ultrasound can assess the urinary system, while cystoscopy lets the urologist examine the bladder and urethral lining.

• Laboratory tests: Urinalysis, urine culture, smears, complete blood count, biochemistry, electrolytes, and coagulogram are available.
• Cystoscopy preparation: A urologist consultation and tests for HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis B and C are required. Patients over 45 need an ECG and internist consultation before cystoscopy with sedation.

Cystoscopy is used to assess chronic bladder inflammation, diverticula, stones, and bladder tumors. It is not performed during an acute urogenital infection, including prostatitis or orchitis.

Treatment and cystoscopy options

• Conservative cystitis treatment: A urologist guides diagnosis, treatment, and recurrence prevention. Care is available in the outpatient clinic or day hospital, with inpatient care if needed.
• Diagnostic cystoscopy: The cystoscope passes through the urethra to inspect the bladder and urethral lining. Women receive local anesthesia; men may have general anesthesia or sedation.
• Catheterized cystoscopy: This can be used to place or remove a ureteral stent.
• Operative cystoscopy: The procedure can remove bladder polyps or stones, allowing diagnosis and treatment in one session.

The clinic describes cystoscopy as its standard examination of the bladder and urethra. Urination discomfort resolves within 24–48 hours in 90% of cases.

Care setting and related conditions

The uroginecology service also treats urethritis and pyelonephritis. Care can take place in the outpatient clinic, day hospital, or 24/7 inpatient unit. The hospital has an intensive care unit and round-the-clock physician and nurse supervision.
