Upcoming Second biopsy: Nervous but better prepared this time

I has 3 biopsies 15+ years ago. Had no recollection about a real infection problem or other issues, though I am sure they told me about it? Had no problem as a result. Pulled up my pants and went home. Felt no side effects of the procedure after leaving. What bleeding?
It sounds like you had a real problem, the first time. Hopefully after this next procedure you will have more normal results.
Did you try and get a transperineal biopsy in order to reduce the risk of infection and increase the areas they can check?

My first biopsy was the one where they stick the MRI probe in you and then do the core collection. I don't know what type they are doing coming up.
