I had my TPB today and it was nowhere near as bad as I thought.
i had been worrying about it for weeks and was frankly terrified.
it is somewhat embarrassing, especially as my doctor was a young women, I had 19 biopsy’s taken and only one was painful.
The local anaesthetic was by far the most painful part but it just stings for a few seconds.
i managed to pee very soon after and was back home, slightly sore but paracetamol managed this fine.
So don’t put it off just get it done.
Now a three or four weeks wait for the results.
Hello Palerma
I am pleased your biopsy went well - and hope the results are OK.
