Special Considerations
This test should not be performed in people with acute urinary tract infection or a blockage at or below the biopsy site. After the test, watch for abdominal pain or flank pain. Report excessive pain, fever, or chills to your health care provider immediately. A small amount of blood in the urine is normal the first few times you urinate after the procedure. Your urine may look faintly pink. Report very bloody urine or bleeding that lasts longer than three emptyings of the bladder to your health care provider.
