For those reading your post and seeing many of us that insisted our biopsies be done transperinal and not transrectal shows what can happen if transrectal.

I did not agree with my urologist who wanted to do my transrectal. I wanted it done transpernial with MRI/Fusion (which my urologist also could do. I got my other Mayo medical team members involved and he changed his mind and said okay transperinal.

Were you told that the transrectal carried around a 2% increase in getting an infection? That the transpernial rate of infection was almost negigilble? Where you told if you did get infection would have to be in hospital for treatment?

I was told this and refused to have it done transrectal and if my urologist would not do it transperninal I would have gone elsewhere.

I feel for you @danceguy and I hope your posts shows we can do many things to lesson further complications when going through prostate testing and treatments.

When you get your biopsies asked for Decipher test.
