Blood in urine after trans perineal biopsy: How long and what is considered persistent bleeding?

Hi Isoxazole - Welcome to the forum.

Honest opinion and I have no medical skills - either ring your CNS or the Urology department who did the biopsy and check with them otherwise I am sorry but as it's now 7/09 and afternoon - I think you would be best off at A & E.

I hope this helps - keep us posted as to how you get on.

Best wishes - Brian.

Hi , an extension to Brian's reply - you could also try NHS111  for advice?

Thanks Brian.  I got through to the CNS and they advised that as long as i do not have a fever/infection (which i don’t) then it would be best to wait/watch until Monday.  If there is no improvement by Monday (1 week from procedure) to ring again and they will take it from there.

Thanks.  I got through to 111 just as the hospital CNS called me back!  (See reply to Brian for outcome)

I had evidence of blood in urine for about 2 weeks after biopsy. Then ok.

Yes,mine was around 2 weeks,if not slightly more before clearing

How painful was the biopsy during and after the procedure?

Did you get a local or general anaesthetic?

How are you now?

Biopsy itself wasnt too bad,had 24 shots,the last 2 I felt the remainder was ok. I had local anaesthetic,now that was painful! . Sore for probably 2 weeks,as I had to have a stitch put in to stop the bleeding.No problems since ,except the results!!

Thanks for the info.  

I have experienced transrectal biopsies many years ago.  Not pleasant.

My biopsy is about 6-8 weeks away because of waiting lists.  95% of them are still transrectal.  I have requested transperineal but there is no guarantee I can receive one.

Good to see the PCa was contained.

Transperineal is the new way to go.Believe less chance of infections.It was really only the anaesthetic jab that i felt,tthe biopsy itself 22/24 twangs like an elastic band noise.The nurse asked me how I was 2/3rds of the way through,I replied no problem.Her reply was " you will feel a couple soon' ,so i guess thats standard,depending on what part they are taking it from. Good Luck,ive just stated tablets for HT,injections instead next month.Radiotheraphy,sometime in New Year.Anything else,dont hesitate to contact me< I always try to be as honest as one can.
