How long does it take to heal after a prostate biopsy?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends: Usually after 48 hrs most of the symptoms will be gone. The most common are pain with urination, pain with bowel movements and sometimes bllod in the urine. If you have a high fever or prolonged bleeding call your urologist immediately. Patricio gargollo, md pediatric urology, dallas texas.

Depends: Bleeding in urine usually stops in 2-3 days, the wound in the prostate gland probably takes 7-10 days to heal.
