Yes, it is generally possible to have a CT urogram and a cystoscopy on the same day. However, it’s essential to coordinate with your healthcare provider to ensure that the scheduling aligns with any necessary preparations or post-procedure care. Your doctor will provide guidance on what to expect and any precautions to take for both procedures.

A cystoscopy is useful because it allows the doctor to get a first hand look at the size and position of any problems seen on the CT scan. Very small problems which may not show up on a CT scan may also be seen using cystoscopy. A biosy of any abnormal tissue can also be done during a cystoscopy.
After a CT urogram with intravenous dye, it's recommended to avoid caffeine and alcohol because both can lead to dehydration, which may affect kidney function and the elimination of the contrast material. Additionally, caffeine can increase heart rate and anxiety, potentially complicating recovery. Staying well-hydrated with water is generally advised to help flush the contrast dye from the body.
Alternative procedures to cystoscopy include ultrasound imaging, CT scan, MRI, and urine tests like urinalysis or urine culture. These tests can help evaluate the urinary system without the need for inserting a scope into the bladder.
