Prostate biopsy under local anaesthetic can be performed via the transrectal or transperineal routes. Each technique has pros and cons.

There are better ways to spend a Saturday lunchtime than a transperineal prostate biopsy.

The apprehension was worse than the reality.

So this is patently untrue. I go to the Mayo Clinic and have been under active surveillance for almost 6 years now after being diagnosed in 2019 with Gleason 6. I’m a fit 71 and the doctors there recommend continuous screening including MRI’s and PSA tests and a periodic Transperineal Biopsy.

If the MRI shows something funky the next step is a biopsy. You might have a local anesthetic and butt stuff, or you might be put under while your doc performs a transperineal op. I had both (at different times).

I got a Transperineal biopsy under general anesthesia. It wasn't painful at all.

I highly recommend it!

Happy to report my prostate biopsy went very well. It helped that this was my second and so I knew what to expect. Also, this one was performed at a university teaching hospital by the person who teaches how to do these things. She was brilliant, as were her team. #Gratitude. (See ALT for details)
Medical diagram of how a transperineal prostate biopsy is performed. An ultrasound probe is inserted into the patient’s rectum and a needle is inserted through the perineum (commonly known as the taint). Images from the probe are used by the technician to guide the needle into the prostate to collect tissue samples known as cores. As many as 30 cores may be taken to sample all regions of the prostate plus any areas of special interest as revealed by a prior MRI scan. This procedure usually involves two or three punctures of the perineum.

The trial led by @ox.ac.uk showed that transperineal biopsy is better than traditional transrectal at diagnosing prostate cancer, but takes longer to perform and is more painful.
