Biopsia testicular - Risks

Nombres alternativos

Biopsia del testículo

Cuáles son los riesgos:

Existe un leve riesgo de sangrado o infección y el área puede presentar dolor durante 2 ó 3 días después de la biopsia. El escroto se puede inflamar o decolorarse, pero esto debe resolverse en unos pocos días después del procedimiento.

Consideraciones especiales:

El posible que el médico le recomiende el uso de un suspensorio atlético durante varios días después de la biopsia. Igualmente, es probable que se le solicite evitar la actividad sexual por una o dos semanas.

Mantenga el área seca durante varios días después del procedimiento.

Siga evitando el uso de ácido acetilsalicílico (aspirin) o medicamentos que lo contengan durante una semana después del procedimiento.
