I'm scheduled for a cystogram soon and my doctor mentioned they'll be using Cystografin 30% Inj, 300ml. I've never had this procedure before and I'm a bit nervous. The doctor explained that it's a contrast agent that helps them see my bladder and urinary tract better. I want to know how other people felt before and after the procedure, or what to expect during it. I would also like to know about the possible side effects. How long does the contrast fluid stay in your body? Is it super painful or uncomfortable? An clear answers with any personal experiences would be helpful — thanks in advance!
