Transperineal vs Transrectal biopsy

I had the transperineal biopsy done with MAC. I told my urologist that I don’t want local . This is when they found out that I have prostate cancer. Had the Aquablation done on June 24 and another biopsy in 6 months. It was only one day and I worked the next day. But I would suggest that you be off one day after the biopsy. All in all it was not
painful at all. Good luck.

I decided with my urologist that I would not require sedation for my upcoming transrectal biopsy, but I know he is planning to use local anesthesia. You opted out of that as well? Interesting. No pain -- or minimal discomfort?
