Does prostate puncture hurt?

Prostate puncture is actually a kind of examination, which is mainly performed by professional instruments. Generally, it does not cause severe pain, but there is still slight discomfort. When undergoing prostate puncture, the patient should lie on his side according to the doctor's instructions, so that he can better fit the position of the machine and reduce pain.

1. Experts suggest using professional puncture equipment to remove several strips of tissue from a man's prostate for examination. This may sound a bit creepy, but the entire process of a prostate biopsy usually does not cause any noticeable discomfort.

2. When male friends undergo prostate puncture, they should lie on their side, with their legs bent and as close to the patient's abdomen as possible. When the doctor inserts the ultrasound probe into the rectum of male patients, there may be a temporary feeling of discomfort, but this feeling will slowly adapt after a short period of time; when the doctor removes the rectal probe, this discomfort will completely disappear. However, if the male patient has undergone rectal surgery before, or has active hemorrhoids, and for those male patients who are very anxious and cannot completely relax the external anal sphincter, there may be a more serious feeling of discomfort.

3. When doctors puncture and remove tissue, they usually use a special device, that is, a puncture gun, which can shorten the time of each puncture to 0.01s, and the patient will not feel any pain at the place where the needle is inserted. It can be performed on the anterior wall of the rectum of the nerve, so prostate puncture biopsy will not cause severe pain. Experts say that under normal circumstances, the entire puncture process (disinfection, puncture and observation) takes about half an hour, and most elderly patients can complete it well.
