Should I have another prostate biopsy

Can you have the biopsy done through the middle of the groin, I can't remember what they call that area, but in those that are high risk for infection they take it that way instead of through the rectum. I don't blame you one bit for not wanting one. I am on immune suppressant for Crohn's and I would be vulnerable to sepsis. Did they give you antibiotics for the last one? If so then it would be a bad idea to have it the traditional way. They do saturation biopsies through the outside instead of going through the rectum, so it is something to ask your doctor about. If you didn't get the antibiotics for the last one, then what they do is take a swab of the rectum, culture the bacteria that is present and test antibiotics that they commonly use on the sample to make sure it will be able to prevent sepsis. If it doesn't work they will try another antibiotic until either they find one that works or if they don't then they don't take the sample through the rectum they will go through the perineum, that is what it is called. They can do it that way instead and there is practically no chance of sepsis when they do it that way. It costs more because they do it in the hospital and you usually are put out for it. That is what I would choose. I wish you luck and hope that everything goes well.

Thanks for your inputs. The doctor told me this time He would do it in the hospital under antibiotic. He didn't tell me from where. Even in the hospital but I still worry very much about the infection.
