biopsy effects

Hi Steve

you’ll be a bit tender for a couple of days, have pink wee for a day or so, and don’t be alarmed if you ejaculate what looks like ketchup for a week or two! Otherwise you should be fine mate.

Good luck 👍

Hi Steve,

Biopsy’s nothing to worry about IMO, you just kind of leave your modesty at the door when your legs go up in stirrups🤣🤣🤣 But I have to say the nurses were wonderful at keeping my mind off it and protecting your ‘bits’ as best they can.

Yes you will be a bit tender afterwards but I was out riding my ebike a couple of days after.

I think there are now less issues with biopsies since they started using transperenial method rather then through the rectum. It sounds a lot worse than it actually is, you’ll feel a little discomfort when you hear the clicks as the samples taken, but unless you have a very low pain threshold I wouldn’t worry.

Good luck and keep us posted on the result👍

The first biopsy I had was the up the bum TRUS one. It wasn't nearly as bad as I'd feared and I thanked the urologist. He said it had been easy because I had a receptive anus.

I walked back to missus, who was waiting in the car to drive me home. I bragged about my receptive anus. She said, "That's strange I've always found you an awkward ar*e hole." 😲

The second one, because my disease had progressed, was done under general anaesthetic. It was an absolute doddle.

The only side effects were a bit of blood in my pee and ketchup semen.
