4. On the day of the procedure, wear comfortable and loose-fitting clothing.
5. Upon arrival at the medical facility, you may be asked to change into a hospital gown.
6. You will be asked to lie down on an examination table, usually with your knees bent and feet in supports.
7. The doctor will apply a lubricating gel to your abdomen or rectum, depending on the type of ultrasound being performed.

13. The biopsy is performed using a thin needle inserted through the rectum or perineum (area between the scrotum and anus) to collect tissue samples from the prostate gland.
14. This tissue is sent to a laboratory for examination under a microscope to check for any abnormalities.
15. After the biopsy, you may experience some discomfort, rectal bleeding, or blood in urine or semen, which is normal. However, if these symptoms worsen or persist, contact your doctor immediately.
