Thanks to everyone who responded, nice to receive feedback from those who have gone through the procedure.

I had it done outpatient. It was as described uncomfortable but not painful and NO residual side affects whatsoever. Perhaps blood in my seamen but I don’t recall.
Cancer was found in my prostate. I went to Moffitt in Tampa. Got the “stranded seeds “. Virtually no side effects whatsoever. I no longer worry about prostate cancer!
The biopsy was recommended based on the rapid rise in my PSA not on an absolute number.
I had the procedure in my early 70’s and am now in my early 80’s.
