Prostate Biopsy

[Marvel_or_DC]

Hello all.

I am very new hear and am so thankful this site exists.

I had a prostate biopsy on Thursday the 18th of August at about approximately 5:30 pm. It is now Friday the 19th of August at 4:50 am and I am still feeling numbness on my right testicle and the right side of my scrotum. Apart from feeling a bit sensitive, the feeling appears to have returned everywhere else. Is this normal or is it best that I get in touch with my Doctor?

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards

If you are still worried, get in touch with your doctor. Once Friday afternoon happens getting any routine help from the NHS is near impossible.

Thank you xseven. Unfortunately, I was not given any indication how long the numbness would last but as of this morning, the numbness is subsiding which I am very happy about but I am also feeling a lot of discomfort which is to be expected. Thanks again for your reply!

Good. Pleased it is settling. Best wishes for the biopsy results. The waiting is awful.

Hello. I have another question. I have noticed more blood in my urine as of today. The blood was minimal before today. Since, the biopsy, I am drinking approximately 3 litres of water a day not including teas and coffee. Is this normal or should I get in touch with my doctor?
