Men presenting with symptoms were classified as having LUTS (obstructive or irritative lower urinary tract symptoms), symptoms of metastases (bone pain, loss of weight, paraplegia), or other (haematuria,
haematospermia, etc.).
TRUS-guided prostate biopsy can cause several potential complications, including
haematospermia (37.4%), haematuria (14.5%), rectal bleeding < 2 days (2.2%), rectal bleeding > 2 days +/- intervention (0.7%), sepsis (0.8%) or urinary retention (0.2%).
A THIS is called
