I am not a doctor or medical expert. You should ask your doctor these questions, because operations vary by the patient and hospital.

I don't know what causes it, by I did have a lung needle biopsy today. They put me completely under (perhaps it's because I'm only 15) so I don't know if I coughed up blood during the operation. Coughing up blood is what got me to go to the walk-in in the first place, where the found a mass in the upper lobe of my right lung.

For my operation, they inserted the needle through my back. I am now sore, but all is well. My doctor(s) told me that coughing blood was normal and that if they would decide to not put me "under", that I should not worry if I did cough blood.

How many different types of biopsy methods are there?

There are several different types of biopsy methods, including excisional biopsy, incisional biopsy, needle biopsy, and endoscopic biopsy. Excisional biopsy involves removing the entire suspicious area, while incisional biopsy involves removing only a portion of the area. Needle biopsy uses a thin needle to extract tissue samples, and endoscopic biopsy uses a flexible tube with a camera to collect samples from inside the body. Each method has its own indications and advantages depending on the location and size of the suspicious tissue.
