Digital X-Ray of Retrograde Urethrogram with MCU Price in Bangladesh

What is Digital X-Ray of Retrograde Urethrogram with MCU?

A Digital X-ray of a Retrograde Urethrogram with Micturating Cystourethrogram (MCU) is a diagnostic imaging procedure used to examine the urethra and bladder. It involves injecting contrast dye into the urethra via a catheter, followed by a series of X-ray images.

The procedure helps identify abnormalities such as blockages, strictures, or reflux. Preparation usually involves fasting and bladder emptying.

Risks are minimal but may include infection, contrast reaction, or slight discomfort. Results are interpreted by assessing the flow of contrast, with abnormalities suggesting conditions like urethral obstruction or vesicoureteral reflux.

What to expect & how to prepare

An X-ray takes a picture of bones or chest structures in a few seconds. A radiographer positions you, asks you to hold still and briefly hold your breath for chest views. Nothing is injected.

• Eat and drink normally: a plain X-ray needs no diet restriction before your appointment.
• Metal: remove jewellery, coins, belts and clothing with zips or hooks over the area, or change into a gown as advised.
• Positioning: you may be asked to stand, sit or lie in a specific position — for weight-bearing views you will stand on the affected limb.
• Bring earlier films: previous X-rays of the same area help with comparison.

A plain X-ray uses a small dose of ionising radiation. Tell the radiographer before the exposure if you are pregnant or think you might be.

Taken by a radiographer and reported by a radiologist; bring the doctor's advice that requested it.
