Cystoscopy/ Urolift Procedure

Well just recently I had to have a cystoscopy as I was having some prostate problems. When I entered the Dr's office his assistant, a young lady CNA did what is normally done on a Dr's office visit. Then she tells me to go over to the table and drop my jeans and underwear and sit on the end of the table and she will be right back in. I also removed my sweatshirt as I didn't really know what would go on and I didn't want to get it messed up. She comes back and has me lay back on the table, fully naked, as she cleans the head of my penis and then injects lidocaine into it. Then she places a clamp on it and leaves the room. About 10 or 15 minutes later the Dr and she come back and she assist him with the cystoscopy procedure. All the time I am naked.
Then about 6 weeks later I have to return for the Urolift procedure. Look it up on google if you're not sure what it is. This time the visit starts out the same as usual with a bunch of questions by the assistant. This is a different assistant. Another young, very young, lady who reads a list of instructions for after the procedure and answers some questions for me. Then she instructs me to remove all my clothing from the waist down. Again like last time I remove my sweatshirt also leaving me naked again. She, like the other assistant, then tells me I should just set on the edge of the table and she will be right back. She comes back in has me to lay back but this time I have to place my legs in slings and slide down to the end of the table. All under her supervision. Then again, like the last time, she cleans my penis and the area around it and tells me she is going to inject lidocaine into it. Only this time she injects it twice. She then assist the Dr with the procedure. When the Dr is done he tells me to empty my bladder. The assistant hands me a marked container and says to use this so she can measure how much I void. Well, I can't void much so when she comes back in she tells me to stand up and watches as I try to go. Then she tells me to walk around the room holding the container. She said that this might help me go. No luck! Then she tells me to get back on the table and lay down while she goes out to talk with the Dr. She then comes back in, I'm still on the table completely naked, and does an MRI of my bladder. She then takes the results to the Dr, still naked on the table. You don't have much in your bladder and the Dr. said you voided a lot after he completed the procedure so you can get dressed and go home. That's my experience with having a cystoscopy and then the Urolift procedure.
