A needle biopsy may cause some discomfort, but it is not typically considered painful. Local anesthesia is usually administered to numb the area, minimizing pain during the procedure. Patients might experience mild soreness or a dull ache afterward, but this can often be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Individual experiences may vary, so it's essential to discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider.
