  schema:description "If an MRI suggests prostate cancer, needle samples are taken. The European urology guideline now recommends going through the skin between the scrotum and the back passage (transperineal) rather than through the back passage, because infections are rarer, and says most men having it this way need no antibiotics. Blood in urine and semen afterwards is common; fever or shivering needs urgent help."@en ;
