Oh yeah. That was me, too. I read all about the biopsy.... "Oh, you're going to be in pain for 3 months after the biopsy. You'll have bruising & swelling in your scrotum..." Nothing. None of the above. Not even bleeding worth mentioning. Another example of not worrying about things that might not even happen in your case.

For me I was concerned about blood in the urine and ejaculate for "up to 4 months". It was bad the first few days, after 10 when I could safely do the other thing it was depressing but it cleared up within a week after. Overall, it was far better.

I'm with you, it's easy to worry about things for no reason. Although, reading the stories on here doesn't sound like it's totally without reason but every man has their own experience and some are worse or better than others.
