Hello and thanks for posting,

You asked about having a breast biopsy.

There are different types of breast biopsies. Most of the time the area to be biopsied has local anaesthetic to make the breast tissue numb. This means it may be uncomfortable but not unduly painful. Breast Cancer Now has information on breast biopsies and how they differ in their website section on breast biopsy It will be sore and may feel bruised for a little time afterwards. Taking simple painkillers as needed can help. Wearing a soft but supportive bra such as a sports bra can help too.

I hope that it goes well for you,

Best wishes,

Vanda
