Hi all they do is take samples from various places in the prostate to check for faulty cells . after test you normally wait for 1/2  hour incase of anything going wrong (extremely rare) .odd times a bit of bleeding or infection . You'll be sore for a good few days,it soon go off and that's it . No colostomy bag .

i had 12 samples taken some have more.

Keep positive and safe.nomatter what .

I was diagnosed Feb 2016 mine went to lymph nodes spine ribs pelvis and a lung ..

Thanks for help and support billygoatt, I've only joined the forum today a d find it great help..

Did you do the pelvic floor exercises and did they help.

No need for pelvic floor exercise remember it's a biopsy not an operation, only really small samples taken .

If you have prostate out you do exercises.

Hi zaz . I've just noticed telemando's reply to you it seems different hospitals do different things,I layed on my side still had jel.. no antibiotics in arm and  just tablets after. The rest you know from telemando's notes.

Hope things go well.

Billy.

Hi Billygoatt

Thank you for reply, it'll be interesting I guess which procedure they will go for, I am hoping that they give me a antibiotics jab in the arm before the procedure just for extra protection from infection.

Thank you again for your help and support I really was in the wildernesses regarding prostate biopsy.
