I had a prostate biopsy in my doctors office in the mid eighties. I had no numbing as you state. It was the most painful experience I have ever endured. I pissed out blood and ejaculated blood for almost a month. I came down with a urinary infection and was given an antibiotic. After all that the test came back normal. I see now its much less barbaric than when i had mine.

[@msxpert4701]

I am so glad you guys have the appropriate care around this procedure. You deserve this amount of pain reduction and I wish anyone going through this a very speedy recovery. I went for a biopsy procedure for uterine cancer last year. I was given no numbing agent, gas or injection. I had a large speculum inserted into my vagina and opened several inches wide. The doctor then proceeded to push through a cylindrical blade (roughly 3/4 of an inch long) through my cervix into my uterus. He then gave me permission to swear and told me this would hurt. Using that cylinder he removed that tissue from inside of me by dragging it blade first, taking parts of my cervix with it because how else would you be able to remove it. I was then handed a pad and told to drive myself home. I bled heavily for over a week. I’m so upset we don’t get the same care with our procedure. It was barbaric.

Thank you. I thought it was supposed to be relatively painless, but I just lived through a nightmare and I knew the doctor had screwed up. I had a biopsy done, and it was the worst pain I’ve ever felt. I told the doctor that he had done something wrong, and he argued with me and tried to convince me that it was supposed to be painful. I couldn’t bring myself to look at him or to speak to him.

[@mattthomson1689]

A crystal clear explanation, staying focused on the procedure used for obtaining material for confirming or ruling out PCa. Apparently the biopsy precedes MRI, useful for comprehensive focusing of radiation treatment when indicated, rather than trying to use MRI for early detection. Glad to have medical team involvement instead of only one or two physicians.

[@RaxOldies]

I had the MRI recently...better for me to let oncologist or urologist to see where there might be a problem rather than random "grid" biopsy...just my opinion, and cost effective also.

Excellent. Very nice presentation. Certainly helped me relax a little ahead of my procedure, particularly the part around hearing from an expert how a biopsy does not cause cancer (I'd read something somewhere about how pulling samples from the prostate could 'release' cancerous cells into the body)... Thank you!

[@firebearva]

My first urologist performed two biopsies taking 12 core samples on the first and 16 core samples on the second biopsy both were done without benefit of nitrous oxide or numbing. After the second biopsy, I developed an infection and went septic spent over a week in the hospital. Needless to say I found a new urologist.

[@GregSr]

This doctor explains EXACTLY how my biopsy went. I had this procedure done yesterday at the VA Loma Linda. I was very nervous about it to say the least - causing high anxiety. I was so nervous (afraid), I took an unauthorized Xanax one hour before just to keep my blood pressure from going too high. The doctor was very good and explained every step as she was doing it. My conclusions: Not nearly as bad as I imagined. Uncomfortable? Yes. Painful? No. The whole procedure took less than 10 minutes. She took 16 very targeted samples from my prostate. Lab results are pending.

[@infledermaus]

I'm picking up some resin and getting baked before mine in October. I've seen some horror stories on here. Laying on a table with my ass hanging out and getting butt fucked with an ultrasound probe is bad enough, but having a big needle jammed repeatedly into my prostate just sounds so unpleasant! Ahhhhh!

[@BMT-by5ve]

Did the VA offer laughing gas before the biopsy?

[@24hourgmtchannel64]

Age 55 with a 3.97 PSA which is up about 1.5 from three years ago and just got my 3T MP MRI results today. The report shows enlargement which was felt on the DRE and "1. no lesion of at least mild suspicion" but the Doc still wants to do a biopsy which is a bit perplexing. After doing some further research, it seems even radiologist are split on the need for follow up biopsy due to the small percentage that may be missed by the reading doctor. I looked up who did mine and he is 8 years out of med school. This is all a bit disappointing as I payed for the MRI to be done first in hopes that if negative findings were produced, it would avoid the 12 point ultrasound guided biopsy but I now get why a biopsy should still be performed.

[@robertmonroe3678]

My doc seems to believe the standard action with an elevated PSA is now an MRI and then a fusion biopsy (basically aiming some of the needles at any suspicious areas identified by MRI). In my doc’s estimation, the MRI does not preclude the biopsy but might help guide it (if anything suspicious is noted). Since an MRI does precisely measure the prostate (useful in PSA density calculations) and pretty good at spotting suspicious areas the hope is it’ll replace certain biopsies on certain occasions.

The first thing that told me the biopsy was in progress, was the sound of the gun. 12 samples taken with zero pain. Unfortunately, the biopsy came back positive, Gleason score of seven, and I had my prostrate removed. Like most procedures, the person who does the numbing injection, makes all the difference

Still seeing blood in my urine and I’m taking an antibiotic.Feel tired and the doctor said no exercise for three days.Also this targeted prostate biopsy is 35% accurate. I’m assuming We will continue to check my PSA which has moved from 4-7. My big question is what is the best drug that will allow me to pee better.I was getting up 4-6 times a night.Had tried Flowmax and I did like the side affects I was tired and my head was not all there as if in a daze. Thank You Ralph Demasi

[@thenpeterthen]

Excellent explanation and easy to follow. Thanks so much!

[@Ted783]

Excellent explanation. Thanks, Doctor!

[@soilmanted]

I had a prostate biopsy. The urologist did 2 injections of anesthetic, one on each one side of my prostate, he said, but in my case it did not feel at all similar to the injections that I get when a dentist needs to do a painful procedure. It hurt much much more. Cutting deep into a tooth to cut out a large and deep carious lesion, which involves is cutting close to the tooth's pulp, or is doing endodontia, root canal treatment, both would be very painful without a local anesthetic. Worse than the worst toothache. But I've never had severe pain from a dentist's injection of anesthetic. Some particularly skillful dentists manage to get that needle in without causing any pain at all. However I can't say the same thing for the urologist who did my biopsy. Those 2 injection were each very very painful. Fortunately the pain lasted for only a few seconds. Maybe about 10 seconds. However the 12 biopsy cores that he took were absolutely painless. I felt them, and heard a loud noise from tool that shoved the needle into my prostate. but there was no pain. I've had hernia surgery with just a local anesthetic. Only mild pain from the needles. Just a slight sting from about 6 needles. I don't know why the pain from being anesthesised for a prostate biopsy much worse, but it was. It was on a whole other level. Also, I quit taking aspirin more than a week before the procedure, but I lost a lot of blood. There was blood all over the table, and the pad under me was not sufficient to absorb it all. It was dripping onto the floor. The gave me pull-on adult diapers to absorb the blood. One diaper did not hold all the blood. I had to change it after about 1.5 hours, and then change the second diaper too. They said the blood loss was not enough to require a transfusion. But I had to sign an agreement before the procedure, saying I agreed to a transfusion should it become necessary so that gave me the idea that sometimes the blood loss is more than what I had, and requires a transfusion.

[@thomasstewart655]

That's scary

[@soilmanted]

@@thomasstewart655 I didn't find it scary, just painful. If I was able to go back in time and do a _do-over,_ I would skip having a biopsy. I knew I had prostate cancer. It was a waste of time. After doing his finger-in-the-rectum exam my primary care physician said he felt a "nodule" in my prostate. Like 4 mm in diameter if I recall correctly. Went to a urologist, he felt the same thing. Does anything else but prostate cancer cause a nodule? I don't think so. Prostatitis does not cause a nodule. Prostatic hypertrophy does not cause a nodule. Only cancer causes a nodule.

Doctor, your explanation was excellently done and was well received with clarity. I need further clarifications if you could help me. I had my prostate biopsy done about 8 months ago. I had blood in my urine, stools and semen just like you have explained very clearly. Blood in my stool stopped within few days and blood in my urine lasted more than 10 days and stopped. However, blood in my semen lasted more than 6 months and finally stopped and being advised in one of your group chats. That's all done and forgotten. My other problem started as quite unnoticeable but has now become unbearable. It's pains and itchiness at my anis and its surrounding area. After my biopsy where it was done under "local" that almost took my life, I had pains at my anus and thought it would go away in a few days. The pains and itchiness became more intense over time and now after 8 months and after seeing few doctors and taking various medications and applying more than 7 different type of creams my anus hurts more and the itchiness continues. The pains are sharp and painful. I would be grateful if doctor could advise me what to do or which specialist that I should consult? thank you

However, the concern is that my PSA score continues to be around 21. This has prompted my doc to suggest a biopsy. What is your opinion sir?

It would really depend on the PSA value and the measured size of the prostate on the MRI. You can calculate a PSA density that gives a good indication of whether a biopsy would be recommended or not.
