Ah Bichon, I did chuckle at the drinking too much water, laughing with you, not at you ;-) of course.
I had local anaesthetic, the risks are substantially lower. In fact a general anaesthetic wasn't discussed (uk) as an option.
Clearly laying down with feet in stirrups, half naked and the "crown jewels" briefly on display, before a modesty cloth covering put in place, is going to be a bit embarrassing. The nurses and radiologist have seen hundreds of men, maybe thousands, in that position. It's not a big deal.
But overall, it was a trivial procedure for me and I was dressed and ready to leave 16 minutes later, anf a pee happened pretty soon afterwards.
The power of the diagnostic information the biopsy will yield is a thousand percent worth it.
