How to prepare

- You may be prescribed a course of antibiotics to take before and after the procedure to prevent infection.
- You will likely be asked to use an enema the night before or morning of the procedure to empty the rectum.
- Inform your doctor of all medications, supplements, and any allergies, especially to antibiotics or latex.
- Fast for a few hours before the procedure if sedation or anesthesia is planned.
- Arrange for someone to drive you home afterward, as you may feel drowsy from sedation.

Sai Brown, a 58-year-old retired school...
Sai Brown, a 58-year-old retired school teacher and avid gardener, had been monitoring a slow but steady rise in his PSA levels over the past three years. His father had been treated for prostate cancer, so Sai was vigilant. His latest PSA jumped to 8.2 ng/mL, and his urologist, Dr. Evans, recommended a TRUS-guided biopsy to investigate. Sai was deeply anxious, fearing a diagnosis that would disrupt his peaceful retirement. The procedure itself was uncomfortable but manageable with local anesthetic; he felt pressure and a quick, sharp pinch with each core sample. Recovery involved a few days of blood in his urine and semen, and some soreness. The biopsy revealed a small, low-grade cancer (Gleason 3+3). While the diagnosis was scary, knowing exactly what he was dealing with brought Sai a sense of control. He felt empowered to discuss active surveillance with his doctor, relieved that he had caught it early, and grateful for a clear path forward.
