What can I expect for recovery after a perineal biopsy?

My last prostate biopsy, through normal procedure, was not very pleasant. In fact, I was near sepsis and spent 5 days in the hospital. What can I expect from having a perineal biopsy?

    1. Hi , I had a transperineal biopsy in 2017 with no side effects. Here is a link to an article from the Mayo clinic about the procedure. https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/prostate-biopsy/about/pac-20384734

      1. Thank you Will for the head’s up on expectations of a perineal biopsy. I have a lot of unanswered questions that need addressing.
