Voiding difficulty after transperineal template biopsy!
Hi there!
I'd like to know for how long one can expect to experience difficulty in urinating (voiding) after having had such a biopsy.
Since I have already BPH, I'm taking Tamsulosin in order to be able to pee "half-way", but now (already 4 days after this biopsy) it's only dripping a few drops every time, so that I've to go to the toilet every 30 minutes or so!
I therefore would like to know if "some patients" did also experience the same problem and if so, how many days (or even weeks?) did it take until the urine stream reverted back to the state prior of the biopsy.
So any valid reply would be highly appreciated; thanks in advance!

Dear Arti Sharma,
Thank you very much for your valid reply which I certainly did appreciate!
Well, after 5 days everything was back to normal and according to my doctor, the problem was due to the fact that I already had BPH for many years, so that my stream was already quite weak prior of this biopsy...

In transperineal template biopsy some of the samples are taken from areas closer to the urethra, which runs through the prostate. This results in greater chances of temporary voiding difficulty and urinary retention. It usually lasts only a day or two, and is easy to treat. Other possible problems of this procedure are blood poisoning, bleeding, urinary tract infection and blood in the urine .If the symptoms are severe and persistent it is suggested to talk to your doctor and discuss your concerns. Hope it helps.
Best wishes and regards!
