I had three Transrectal biopsies (16 years ago). It was not much of a painful procedure, Did feel minor discomfort when Each sample was taken, but it was not a big deal. Had no problems at all as a result of it, didn’t need to be Under anesthesia. Drove myself home after and had no real side effects following the procedures.
I’ve heard some people had difficult times, but I think it’s unusual.

That is awesome for you. My husband had transrectal biopsies 2 years ago. They took 14 punches. No cancer, thank God. It was brutal for my husband.
I have had four kids and each was as natural as possible and extremely painful - until I got an epidural with the fourth child. It was heaven to have the epidural and I was angry that I was not offered the pain relief with the other three (the other three were more from the 'childbirth is a natural things and you should just enjoy the experience' mindset of the 70s and 80s. What a crock of garbage!
Childbirth and prostate biopsies may not be painful or traumatic for some people, but not all. And for medicine to assume anyone should just "grin and bear" the "discomfort" is a travesty because pain management is not rocket science.
I have come to believe with all my heart and brain, everyone experiences pain differently.
Childbirth is so painful it puts a woman "out of control" with pain. As can prostate biopsies: my husband was about the kill the doctor, had they not been holding him down with three "assistants".
My husband was a Marine and can take pain, trust me.
Am so happy your experience was not like his.
