Not at all! For some people it can be very painful to have a cystoscopy without anesthesia because of certain bladder issues. Having a cystoscopy under anesthesia allows the doctor to take a better look at the bladder without the patient moving or being tense. It also allows the doctor to see how a person's bladder operates when they don't feel the pain or discomfort. So once again, no you are definitely not a wimp for having this procedure under anesthesia!
