I went through the prostate biopsy procedure 6 different times. Four times in SC, and twice in FL.
The first two times they took 6 samples, the last four they took 12 samples. All snips were uncomfortable, but I do remember two that were very painful. Finally my doctor here sent me to Sarasota for a prostate MRI. Cancer was detected and I chose the Robot Assisted Laproscopic Prostectomy. Ive had less than .01 psa readings since 2016.
To your post, you shouldn't have discomfort a day or two after biopsy, but you will have blood in your semen for awhile. I hope your result is negative for cancer, but if it's positive, decide your choice of treatment after consultation with your doctor.
