A prostate biopsy is a diagnostic procedure primarily used to detect the presence of prostate cancer. Usually recommended for patients exhibiting prostate-specific antigen (PSA) greater than 4 ng/ml, anomalous digital rectal exam (DRE) findings, or lesions identified on multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging (mpMRI). This procedure involves collecting a small tissue sample from the prostate gland for microscopic examination. This diagnostic tool aids doctors in diagnosing prostate diseases, thereby helping in better choice of treatment. Although, a normal biopsy does not inherently dismiss the possibility of prostate cancer.
Delhi, with its thriving healthcare landscape, is home to some of the best transrectal prostate biopsy doctors and prostate sampling doctors, capable of meticulously performing this procedure.
Following are the conditions for which prostate biopsy may be recommended:
Elevated PSA Levels: An increased PSA level often indicates potential problems with the prostate, including cancer. A biopsy further confirms the provisional diagnosis.
Abnormal DRE Results: If abnormalities during a DRE are found, doctors usually recommend a biopsy to check for cancer.
Identification of Lesions: Lesions detected by mpMRI can be potential indicators of cancer, which is validated by a biopsy.
Prior Negative Biopsy: If previous biopsies were false negative but cancer suspicion remains high due to other indicators, a repeat procedure is needed.
The best prostate biopsy doctors at Apollo Hospitals in Delhi conduct this procedure in several well-defined steps:
Preparation: Patients are advised to stop certain medications that increase bleeding time and antibiotics are prescribed by prostate tissue biopsy doctors or urologists as a preventative measure against infection.
Anaesthesia: Local anaesthesia is applied to the area to ensure numbness.
Biopsy Needle Insertion: A thin, targeted needle is inserted through the rectum into the prostate gland for precise tissue sampling.
Tissue Collection: Multiple samples are taken from various parts of the prostate gland using the biopsy needle.
Post-Biopsy Care: Following the biopsy, patients might encounter slight discomfort or minor bleeding. They will receive tailored instructions for post-biopsy care and scheduling of follow-up appointments.
Selecting a credible specialist is crucial to the success of a prostate biopsy. In Delhi, patients can consult some of the most skilled and proficient prostate needle biopsy doctors and prostate core biopsy doctors.
These accomplished urologists are adept at conducting successful biopsies, ensuring patient comfort and safety throughout the procedure. Their expertise and dedication significantly contribute to high patient comfort and satisfaction.

Trust Apollo Hospitals' dedication and the expertise of our best prostate biopsy doctors and urologists to meet your medical needs efficiently and effectively.
