Explicit Transrectal Ultrasound Video with Prostate Biopsy

For you men who've wondered what it's really like to have this procedure done, my husband found a video on YouTube of the whole process, in explicit detail. The video was produced by the Peking Medical University, and the procedure is being performed with modern equipment by a female urologist who appears to know her stuff quite well. I feel sorry for any man that has to have this done. It hurts if there's no local anesthetic given. Then a man can be sore for weeks, and have bleeding issues. I wish they could find a different, less painful or embarrassing way of diagnosing prostate cancer. But see the video and you'll understand.

Nurse Nikki: Thanks for posting this video. I've been on the receiving end of this procedure twice in a five year period to evaluate fluctuating PSA numbers. Luckily, my results came back negative each time and prostate cancer doesn't have a history in my family.

I was lucky because the doctors used what I believe was lidocaine numbing gel both times. The only "feeling" I noticed was what I describe as an electric "jolt" to the head of my penis when the needle went in ( ten times each procedure). The other side effect was waiting for the blood to be purged out of my prostate during masturbation sessions over a one month period; it jolts your senses when your semen is bloody red!

I'm not sure many doctors on this side of the pond use the iodine(?) pre-wash around the buttocks and anus. Each doctor prescribed a high powered anti-biotic afterwards and the last one gave me an intra-muscular injection just before the procedure.

Well he was pretty still for the procedure... I wonder if they sedate for this?

I had this procedure once because PSA levels were increasing. Although numbing gel was used, the probe felt humongus. After it was in, I didn't feel much of anything. There was some bleeding afterward and I was sent home with something like a pad to absorb any additional bleeding. The results indicated cancer in an early stage. I had surgery to remove my prostate.

Literally just had this procedure done today, def not enjoyable. You get in the first room, a nurse tell you to undress then to get in the second room. You get on the exam table and wait the doc. Once he’s there he start scanning outside on both sides for 3/4 minutes then ask you to lay on you side and just shove the thing right up and it hurts a lot for a solid minute but nothing else.

At least now I know why I suffer from hemospermia and won’t have to do it again.

I went through this when I was in my mid forties after having received an elevated PSA report. There was nothing pleasurable about it whatsoever as it was the most painful procedure I have ever experienced. My advice to any man who needs this procedure done is to INSIST on being put under general anesthesia even if you have to pay out of pocket for it. It will spare you from the pain of that biopsy needle as well as any embarrassment you might experience otherwise. Going through the ultrasound, biopsy, then the prostate treatment itself is humiliating for any male, especially a straight man as you quickly come to know your "feminine" side.

So far, I haven't experienced a prostate biopsy and hope that I never do. Unfortunately, it may wind up happening because of a strong family history of prostate cancer. Hopefully not soon though.

I've had this numerous times & thev most pain came from movingbthe probe around in my anus. The dr wasn't exactly gentle. The needle was more like getting snapped with a rubber band, but there was a brief pain the shot down my penis, each time I got stuck. When he got done, I was bleeding from my penis and rectum for a day. It took a couple weeks before blood in my semen stopped.

Early-on there were 10 sticks, 5 on each side. The dr did it every 6 mo. There was no numbing.

One time, there were 20 sticks, 10 on each side. For that, he numbed my prostate. That burned like hell. All these came back negative.

A couple yr ago. After numerous trips to the ER to get drained they removed my prostate. Dr. said it was as big as a grapefruit & had to come out in 2 pieces. It weighed over 8 oz.

The biposy etc parts sounds no fun 😢

But only a rectal ultrasound probe maybe would be fun to try 😃

Had the rectal ultrasound several times, never any biopsy and didn’t mind the probe or scopes

I did have transrectal ultrasound after having had a rectal toucher first.

Didn't seem to be an issue afterwards and no biopsy was done.

The ultrasound was then moved to testicles, genitals (obviously using another scanner instead of the probe)
