It was transrectal, under general anesthesia. I took antibiotics before and after the procedure.

I know tranpernial reduces infection risk to zero, but it is usually more painful and is even more reason to insist upon general anesthesia.

My understanding of biopsy induced odynorgasmia is that it is usually caused by minor (hopefully temporary) nerve injury.

Typically, this pain is self-limited and resolves as the affected tissue and nerves heal over time.

In my case, I believe some amount of nerve damage occurred and the timeframe for full and complete recovery, in such cases, may take up to 6 to 12 months.

Nerves affected by trauma or irritation during the biopsy typically undergo a slow healing and regeneration process.

Again, I do not believe my post biopsy symptoms are normative; however, they do occur in a small, but not insignificant number of men.

Just curious, but did your urologist mention that odynorgasmia was a possible side effect of biopsy prior to having it performed in your case?

I’ve never heard of anyone indicating they were informed that odynorgasmia was a possible side effect (even though unlikely) of biopsy.
