So sorry to hear this. Did you get antibiotics the day before the biopsy? I was told for my upcoming biopsy I'd be taking an anti-biotic the day before, the day of, and the day after.

Stew, what they give you is HARDLY enough to make up for puncturing your bacteria filled rectum 12 times and injecting….um…shit… into your body.
I’ve done simple dental cleanings on some patients with mitral valve issues, premedicated them with 2 grams of Amoxicillin and they’ve wound up hospitalized for a week with cardiac infections.
Get the TRANSPERINEAL BIOPSY!

Yes you receive these antibotics . I assume you are going for the Transperineal Biopsy NOT the more risky for infection , possibly sepsis , TRANSRECTAL BIOPSY , for obvious rreasons . Several countries , for example Norway have banned the TRANSRECTAL BIOPSY for this reason . Many Urologists in the USA now refuse performing the transrectal .
Many fear a biopsy . In Canada they almost never give you an anesthestic , just a local numbing in the perineal area . IT IS A WALK IN THE PARK .
