This research is about modification during routine cystoscopy (scope in the bladder) procedure \[ experimental research \]. The goal of the study is to evaluate patient experience with cystoscopy by using procedural modification to reduce pain perception. The investigator aim for quality improvement of the current methods of cystoscopy to achieve a better patient experience.

RECRUITING1)To determine the efficacy of the act of urination in reducing patient urethral pain during flexible cystoscopy procedure.
To determine the efficacy of the act of urination , we will use visual analogue score (VAS) , subjective assessment for assessing the patient pain score.
Time frame: During cystoscopy procedure
2)To determine the association between the act of urination with relaxation of external urethral sphincter during flexible cystoscopy procedure.
We will use electromyography (EMG) as objective assessent to determine association between act of urination and relaxation of external urethral sphinter.
Time frame: During cystoscopy procedure
