Last year, over 2500 cystoscopic examinations were conducted in Odesa. Cystoscopy — a procedure that allows doctors to assess the condition of the urethra, bladder, and ureters, facilitating the early detection of urinary tract cancers.
It is recommended to undergo cystoscopy after turning 50, even in the absence of symptoms. If a patient is younger but the doctor deems the procedure necessary, they should obtain a referral to schedule an appointment at a medical facility with appropriate accreditation.
Cystoscopy is included in the state program of guaranteed medical services and can be performed free of charge with a referral from a family doctor or treating physician.
The city of Odesa has equipped medical institutions with modern cystoscopy equipment. The procedure can be done for free by appointment at the following addresses:
- Consultative and Diagnostic Center No. 6 — Dobrovoltsiv Street (Marshal Hovorov), 26a;
- City Clinical Hospital No. 10 — Oleksii Vadaturskyi Street (Marshal Malynovskyi), 61;
- City Clinical Hospital No. 11 — Vitalii Nesterenko Street (Academician Vorobyov), 5.
