I was the same after my biopsy. However, it subsided after a couple of days, along with the blood in the urine. Both were a little bit scary at the time but, they were only temporary. 

Thank you a bit reassurance 

Hi, for myself the biopsy didn’t affect my bowel other than I felt bruised for about a week when I went to the toilet & had to push so to speak, blood in my urine appeared about 24 hours after the biopsy but was gone within 24 again

best wishes

Thank you 

This is a common side effect, or it could be constipation. He might find that he has rust coloured semen for a few days - don't panic, it looks nasty but is normal and ejaculating can actually help clear it out of the body. He may notice blood in his stools or urine, again it should go after a few days. Side effects from the biopsy can last for up to 4 weeks and would be of concern if a quantity of red blood shows up which could indicate that things are not healing. Taking antibiotics can upset the gut flora so it helps to take a probiotic to restore the balance e.g. Greek yoghurt or yoghurt drink plus a varied diet with plenty of fruit and veg.

Thank you 

Hello johnam 

I was fine, but we are all different - someone poking around up there can affect you. If it continues say after weekend go back to your team (CNS) or ask the GP. It should settle down.

Thank you brian . I think it’s the antibiotics as he never takes any medication.
