Pyridium, CystoscopeAbstract
Objective: To evaluate the influence of pyridium as an analgesia after cystoscopy.
Material & methods: We performed an experimental study to see the analgesic effects in patients undergoing rigid and flexible cystoscope. A total of 104 patients [52 men & 52 women] were entered into the study. Rigid cystoscope was performed on 26 men and 26 women. The other was done by flexible cystoscope. 13 patients of every group got pyridium [100 mg] 6 tabs by 1 tab 3 times per day after cystoscope. A 10-point score (1-least to 10-most painful) was used to measure pain perception. We recorded pain scores after cystoscope suddenly then telephone to ask them about pain scores in the evening of post cystoscope day 0, 1 and 2.
Result: In men with rigid cystoscope that took pyridium pain perception was significantly decreased in post cystoscope day 0 and 1. Men with flexible cystoscope pain perception was significantly decreased in post cystoscope day 0 when took pyridium. No significant difference was noted in the pain score of women with rigid and flexible cystoscope that took pyridium or not.
Conclusion: surgeon can use pyridium for relieve pain after cystscope in men.
