I had the biopsy, via the anal canal, also, performed in my Urologist’s office. No real pain, discomfort yes, and I could converse with the Doctor during the procedure. I also had the new non-invasive test, the PSMA test, completely covered by Medicare. Perhaps your Doctor has Nitrous Oxide available; I used that during my Urolift procedure, now moot as my prostate was removed via robotically-assisted laparoscopically prostatectomy. Best of luck, and prayers, to you.

I had to look up PSMA and it sounds as if deciding what drugs to use to help with all of this can get really complicated. By the way was your robotically assisted prostatectomy something that shortened your recovery time? Did it seem safer to you?
