Another diagnostic test for a cystocele is a cystourethrogram. Contrast dye is injected into the bladder and urethra. While the woman is urinating, an x-ray shows the shape of the bladder. A radiologist interprets the results to determine if something is blocking urine flow. This test does not require anesthesia, but the patient may be sedated.
