Transrectal biopsy of the prostate is necessary in the diagnosis of prostate cancer (PC). Though generally considered safe, patients encounter minor complications such as bleeding and urinary symptoms, and uncommonly, serious infections that may require antibiotic therapy, visits to the emergency room (ER) or hospital admission, causing morbidity and rarely even mortality. It is concerning that infections are on the rise due to resistant bacteria. Urologists will have to be aware of bacterial susceptibility studies to reduce such complications. This review focuses on prostate biopsy and its complications, and measures to reduce these complications in our practice.
经直肠前列腺活检对前列腺癌（PC）的诊断是必要的。虽然一般认为是安全的，但患者会遇到一些轻微的并发症，如出血和尿症状，并且罕见地出现严重感染，这可能需要抗生素治疗、急诊室（ER）就诊或住院，导致发病率，甚至罕见地导致死亡率。令人担忧的是，由于耐药菌的存在，感染呈上升趋势。泌尿科医生必须了解细菌药敏研究，以减少此类并发症。本综述重点介绍前列腺活检及其并发症，以及我们在实践中减少这些并发症的措施。
