What you need to know in preparation for Prostate Biopsy

[@ctsobvi]

Excellent video. I had a prostate biopsy two weeks ago and this video prepared me in terms of what to expect. Very good advice and a very realistic account of what to expect before and after the procedure.

How long will the pain after prostate biopsy go away? Any chance of permanent damage to the prostate?

[@TheProstateClinicTPC]

Uncommon to have significant pain. Low risk of long term issues with a targeted biopsy

[@rosecat9738]

Is it normally for a patient to only get antibiotics during the procedure ?

[@TheProstateClinicTPC]

Yes that’s correct. At the Prostate Clinic men only receive a single dose of antibiotic at the time of the biopsy. 👌🏻

Thanks for the vidoe. If the patient has suprapubic catheterization do you still request a urine analysis from the urine bag?. Also do you give IM antibiotics before the procedure? If yes how long before the procedure?. Thanks again

[@TheProstateClinicTPC]

Yes yes and around 4-5 days preop👌🏻

[@TheProstateClinicTPC]

I always perform this procedure with men asleep. In Australia men are recommended to have a PSA blood test from 50 if they have no family history of prostate cancero
