Transperineal biopsy recovery time?

I had my done April 2, I had a little blood when peeing the first day, and four days of peeing discomfort so I can say the recovery is very fast, I waited two weeks before resuming my workouts even though the doctor told me 5 days, the procedure itself I had some discomfort with the probe and the biopsy pinching just ask for more numbing stuff. Drink a lot of water afterwards like a 1/2 gallon of water throughout the day for four of five days to help flush thinks out you will do fine

One thing I learned from the biopsy is that we're not robots.
We're all different, so our experiences will be different.

In preparation for the biopsy, I read all I could from places like this - even watched the procedure on YouTube, so I knew what he was doing down there.
I read sorts of reviews.
"You'll be in pain for days" "You'll be bleeding for a week"
Probably all valid experiences, but I had none of it.
I was fine the next day & got on with life.

So the thing to remember not only from the biopsy, but also any subsequent procedures is that although it's very helpful to read about the experiences of others, always keep in mind that you *may* experience this or you *might* experience that.
It's good to be forewarned, but not everything that you read will happen to you.
It works the other way as well.

While I had a transrectal biopsy, your question got me curious about my own "recovery". With online records, I have the exact time of the biopsy (1 PM on February 9, 2023). I am an inveterate exerciser, and have kept a diary or what I do, when I do it for decades. I found that I walked an hour 24 hours later, lifted weights and ran for 40 minutes 48 hours later, and went to the weight room followed by another run 72 hours later. All without any pain or other symptoms. Nobody told me not to do anything, so I did what felt comfortable.

Thanks for the posts. The general advice I got from the medical personnel was "Take it easy for a few days." That's pretty vague.

I plan on hitting (well, more like cautiously approaching) the gym today and trying some light exercise, just to keep up the routine.

Just don't push yourself too much, go only as far as is comfortable. Like with any incision, healing can take time and you don't want to prolong that.

I was relatively active shortly after my transrectal biopsy, but that's an entirely different animal where recovery time wasn't really needed since no cuts were made. I think I was doing my normal day-to-day within an hour or two.

With the transperineal there really isn't an incision; more like two little dots where they stuck in the needle thingy.
I'm back to my almost normal physical activities now, and so far my penis hasn't fallen off.

Had mine transperineal on April 3rd. No discomfort, pain or blood in urine or stools. Started gym after two days, started light and within a week went back to normal routine. Listen to your body, no need to overstress.
