If you've been told you need a prostate biopsy, you may be wondering whether a transrectal biopsy or a transperineal biopsy is the better option. In this episode of UroPatient, Vic Senese, RN, BSN, FAUNA, explains the key differences between these two prostate biopsy techniques and what current research tells us about their accuracy, safety, and potential complications.
✅ Possible side effects, including bleeding and urinary retention
✅ Questions you should ask your urologist before your biopsy
If your PSA is elevated, your prostate MRI shows a PI-RADS 3, 4, or 5 lesion, or your physician recommends a biopsy, understanding these options can help you feel more confident and prepared.
This episode is designed for patients, caregivers, and anyone wanting to better understand today's best practices in prostate cancer diagnosis.
