Due to some cardiac issues, docs avoid knocking me out whenever they can. My biopsy was certainly not as pleasant as yours. Lidocaine locals don't work very well on me.
Wishing you very boring results from your biopsy. 👍

@mjp0512 Sorry to hear that you experienced pain. For me, the local worked very well. No sedation, so fully awake for the whole thing. Talking to the nurse and doctor doing the work. Trans perineal procedure. I don’t like sedation, because it wipes out my whole day. My best advice for anyone facing a biopsy, is that if you are at all apprehensive, ask for sedation/anesthesia. What a bad experience is for one man may not be bad for another, but why take the chance if unsure?
