urologists are like chefs. they all "cook" a bit differently. they only thing i can do is try and guess what they may use. if the cystoscopic exam is being done in the office they may only use a topical (lidocaine jelly) inserted in the urethra. if you are going to a surgical center you could either be given an injection of versed for "conscious sedation" or even be put under a more general anesthesia. since i don't know your urologist the reason for the exam or even if you are male or female it would be impossible for me to know exactly what they may or may not use. the best way to find that answer is to call the urologist office and ask. they will tell you.
