Hi Zaz62
As a woman, I cannot help with your question about the prostate biopsy, but can assure you that having this done will not result in a colostomy bag. This is major surgery which is not connected in any way to a prostate biopsy, and is due to removal of the colon.

Hi Zaz
My friend Billygoatt will keep you right about all things prostate, and will be a very good source of advice for you.
I just wanted you to know there was no connection with a colostomy, which I have myself, so it’s nothing for you to worry about.
