Only GOOD news wanted (JK).
First, let's assume you mean transperineal biopsy
Second, the only source for only good news is Polyanna

That being said, I suggest you look at a few medical website articles regarding the procedure as well as the info from your urologist

I briefly reviewed the following article and it seems appropriate for a non-medical professional.
