I understand your concern . Each to his own . Personally I have a high treshold for pain - during my 2 Transperineal MRI Fusion Biopsies , they were a walk in the park . I requested the 2nd biopsy given the the negative 1st biopsy results were in conflict with a PI-RADS 5 MRI . The 2nd biopsy results were all Gleason 6 in the target area . I subsequentlly had a 2nd and 3rd opinion on these results whic were revised upwards .
In Canada I have yet to hear of a patient getting an anesthetic for any biopsy .
I have an associate , like you , worried to death and months of sleepless nights before his biopsy-
eventually everything went fine . Now he is worrying about any pain during his upcoming NanoKnife treatment .

I will join the crowd with anesthesia. I had a transrectal biopsy and was put under. I have no need to test my pain threshold. I have also spoken to people who have had it without anesthesia, on this site and externally, and some used the words "never again. As @clandeboye1 said, to each his own.

I have attached a pdf file on prostate research sources that I used during my process. Maybe it will help you as well.
