The goal of this study is to learn methods doctors can use to help improve the cystoscopy experience. Specifically, this study will determine if listening to music, and the amount of time Lidocaine (a numbing medication) is allowed to rest in your urethra before beginning the cystoscopy procedure, will improve the cystoscopy experience.
For patients undergoing cystoscopy who choose or do not choose to watch the procedure on a screen: Does long vs. short dwell-time lidocaine, and music vs. no music, more effectively reduce pain and anxiety and improve satisfaction and adherence to clinician recommendations for follow-up.
