Which statement would NOT be considered a typical finding after a cystoscopy?

• A. Pink tinged urine
• B. Frequency
• C. Dysuria
• D. Bright red blood in urine

Answer: (D)

After cystoscopy, mild irritation of the urinary tract is common. This usually shows up as pink-tinged urine, plus increased urinary frequency and dysuria from bladder and urethral irritation and the local anesthesia used during the procedure. Bright red blood in the urine, on the other hand, suggests more significant bleeding or trauma and is not considered a typical finding. It would warrant further evaluation for possible hemorrhage or other complication. So the statement describing bright red blood in urine is the one that does not fit the usual post-procedure course.
