Wait time for a biopsy

Chris, recovery from the TRUS biopsy is almost immediate and many like me pulled up their trousers and drove home. The cores are taken through the rectum and when you sit down your buttocks absorb your weight. The template biopsy on the other hand is very different, the cores being extracted through the Perinium under general anaesthetic or occasionally using spinal block as this is much more tender area. After the Template biopsy procedure, I found it better to rather slouch back in a chair. If You sit upright or forward the punctured area of the Perineum tends to be compressed and hurts. However, as both methods take samples from the Prostate, some small amont of blood in urine and semen can be expected for a few days or rather longer in semen as this is flushed out less often than urine, whichever method is used.
