I've just had my biopsy this morning at 11:30 which was done by making two pencil sized holes in my perineum through which the biopsy needles were passed.
The procedure wasn't painful aside from the anesthesia going in as it had to be into the prostate however the probe up the back passage was very uncomfortable as it was moved around.
I don't have any blood in my urine but going is almost impossible with only small amounts coming out each time. I have heavy bleeding from my rectum and from the puncture wounds even now 8 hours later. I'm also leaking small amounts of urine into my underwear which I've never done before.
Pain has almost gone and it's just a dull ache now in the general prostate area but bleeding still continues albeit not as heavy. It's enough to soak my underwear and my jeans. I've been using incontinence pads but they didn't catch all of the blood.
Is this normal as I don't want to wake up in the morning with blood soaked bedsheets. I've put plastic bin bags under the bed sheet so not to ruin the mattress.
Any advice from anyone who has had this procedure done? I didn't think rectal bleeding was a thing with the transperineal method unless the probe damaged something. I hated that as it felt like I needed a bowel movement as he moved it around.
Thanks
Hi Ade31 welcome to the forum and sorry to hear about what is happening for you. I dont know enough about the procedure that you had but if you are at all worried I would contact out of hours on 111 and seek some medical advice.

Good Evening Ade31
I had the good old TRUSS biopsy so can't comment on yours, however with your symptoms continuing I would advise you to either ring 111 for further advice or call at your local A & E or Emergency Unit.
I hope it's sorted soon and please let us know how you get on as it's important for future Community members to know.
Best wishes - Brian.
