Yes, pain in the area between the anus and the scrotum is common from few days to several weeks. Also, blood in the urine can be found for a few days to few weeks. Fever, pain or burning sensation during urination could be an indication of infection. Consult your healthcare provider. Thank you.
No. It is time to contact your doctor who performed the biopsy.
Yes, this is a brutally primitive procedure. We need better imaging studies that can highlight cancers without taking needle cores or better liquid biopsy, but this is the state of the science, unfortunately.
It depends. Consult with Surgeon.
