You can always look this up on the internet, not a pleasant test by far, they take biopsies of the prostate using a long needle, it goes through the anal wall into the prostate, they take up to 6 samples from each half of the prostate, which is a bit like a wall nut, in two halves, and a similar size, the samples are sent off and depending on how much cancer they find, they then have two numbers, one for each side, if all samples are positive, then you have a gleason score of 5+5 so 10 Unfortunately mine was 5+4 =9
Scores of 1+1 =2 are no immediate concern.... yet, but need to be monitored, and possibly treated.
The test is no guarantee, they may sample 12 points and miss all possible cancer sites, that's why they take so many.
There is a risk of infection, you are going through the anal wall after all You are given strong antibiotics prior and after the test, I was ok.
