Prostate Biopsy

A prostate biopsy is a medical procedure used to collect tissue samples from the prostate gland for further examination. It’s often performed to check for prostate cancer or other conditions affecting the prostate.

During the procedure, a thin, hollow needle is inserted through the rectum or the perineum (the area between the scrotum and anus) into the prostate gland. Small tissue samples are then taken and sent to a laboratory for analysis. A prostate biopsy helps determine if there are any abnormal cells or signs of cancer.
