I know it's neither here nor there in the scheme of things, but how unpleasant is the biopsy process?

  It’s fine. I did 3 or 4 over the years. They stick a probe up your butt a little, with some numbing gel, which is uncomfortable but fine. There are a few pricks of local anesthesia and then you feel nothing or extremely little, apart from the pressure of the probe. You hear some clicks as they shoot needles in to take samples, but it doesn’t hurt. It takes like 15 minutes. You take an antibiotic and do an enema beforehand to ward off infection. The worst part for me was you have bloody semen for weeks after. I thought that was so gross. But it’s harmless and resolves completely.
