Abstract:

Objective

To explore the effects of the modified "Bag Squeeze" technique, and the relative factors of pain and anxiety during flexible cystoscopy.

Methods

A total of 200 male patients underwent flexible cystoscopy between March 2020 and April 2021. Among them, 100 patients received the modified "Bag Squeeze" technique (Group B), while the rest received the non-modified "Bag Squeeze" technique (Group A). All participants completed a pain questionnaire (visual analog scale) and anxious questionnaire (the Amsterdam preoperative anxiety and information scale) after cystoscopy, followed by a repeat pain questionnaire 24 h later. The perioperative outcomes were compared between the two groups.

Results

Patients in Group A and Group B were similar in terms of age, BMI, previous TUR-bt history, BPH, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and location. The VAS score at the end of examination, 24h after examination and APAIS score at the end of examination in the modified "Bag Squeeze" group were significantly lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05); benign prostatic hyperplasia had no significant effect on the pain and anxiety after examination, but combined with severe benign prostatic hyperplasia could aggravate the microscopic pain of patients.

Conclusions

The modified "Bag Squeeze" method helps to reduce the pain and anxiety of patients during flexible cystoscopy and ensure the smooth progress of the examination; how to relieve the discomfort of microscopic examination in patients with severe benign prostatic hyperplasia still needs to be further explored.

Key words: Flexible cystoscopy, Bag Squeeze, Pain, Anxiety
