Transperineal vs Transrectal biopsy

Try to get transperineal if you can. They not only have lower infections risk, but are also more accurate since rhey can take larger samples (i.e. more cores). I had a transrectal one since I could not find a transperineal in south FL.

It’s not as much that they can take larger samples. It’s that they can access parts of the prostate that cannot be accessed from transrectal biopsies. So you can have a more thorough biopsy.
