Does bleeding after prostate biopsy or lack of it serve as an indicator of potential cancer?
No. Bleeding from the rectum after the biopsy is normal. This is due to the needle passing through the wall of the rectum; it may strike a blood vessel causing some bleeding or it may not. Also, you may notice a small amount of blood in your urine. This should clear up after a day or two. You may also see blood in your semen. This can last a week or longer. The presence of blood or lack thereof does not indicate cancer.
