Rigid cystoscopy is a common procedure to evaluate lower urinary tract symptoms in females. This procedure can be done with or without an instrument called a sheath obturator. Both techniques are used by surgeons and are considered safe, but have never been studied to see if one technique leads to less discomfort with the patient's first void after the procedure. The obturator's use may potentially reduce urethral irritation and bothersome postprocedural symptoms, primarily dysuria. The investigators aim to determine whether there is a difference in dysuria outcomes postoperatively when cystoscopy is performed with or without an obturator.
