Hi,

There would be anesthesia provided so the pain shouldn’t be a concern. After the procedure there may be some bleeding for the first few days which would be natural as the healing may take a little time. The pain should be controlled with pain medications.

Discuss with your doctor the actual procedure. Brochures would also help cover the basics and the more information you have, the less anxious you would be.

Try to find out if an infection is considered. Treatment for this may affect the plan for biopsy, if there may be interval changes afforded by the drugs.

Stay positive.
