A prostate biopsy is a minimally invasive procedure performed to obtain small tissue samples from the prostate for accurate detection of cancer or other abnormalities. Under transrectal or transperineal ultrasound guidance, a thin needle is used to precisely target different areas of the gland. The real-time imaging ensures accuracy and reduces the risk of complications. It is usually done under local anesthesia, causing minimal discomfort and taking only a few minutes. The procedure is typically completed as a day-care service, allowing patients to return home the same day.
