@indyguy in my view if a biopsy comes back 3+3 you have the luxury of plenty of time to figure out what, if anything, you want to do. Now days the standard of care for 3+3 seems to be active surveillance whereas 20 years ago men were very frequently being treated for 3+3. It was almost heresy to do active surveillance 20 years ago. Today things get murkier if the biopsy comes back 3+4. It took me a lot of research to understand the risks and benefits of whether or not to treat a 3+4. The facts are different in each case so comprehensive testing and research is necessary. There are many excellent videos on YouTube. For a start try Dr. Mark Scholz, Dr. Laurence Klotz and Dr. Cooperman. It is a lot of work to figure out all of this. Finally as to your question about passing blood in the urine for a few days, that did sometimes happen to me but was never a problem. There can also blood in the semen for a month or two but that was not a problem. I never had an infection after a biopsy, possibly just by luck.
