Abstract: Objective To study the effects of 1% tetracaine hydrochloride jelly for pain control of patients receiving transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided prostate biopsy. Methods A total of 100 patients receiving TRUS-guided prostate biopsy were divided into two groups with 50 in each.In Group 1,patients received liquid paraffin,and in Group 2,patients were given 1% tetracaine hydrochloride jelly before biopsy. Pain score was measured by horizontal visual analogue scales ( VAS ),and pain and discomfort were compared between the two groups. Results The average pain scores at the time of insertion of the ultrasound probe were 2.9 ± 1.7 and 1.4 ± 1.8 ( P =0.000) and the average pain scores at the time of performing biopsy were 5.2±1.5 and 3.1±1.7 (P=0.000) in Group 1 and Group 2,respectively.There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of age,serum prostate specific antigen,digital rectal examination,TRUS,and biopsy core number ( P > 0.05).There were no significant differences of complications after biopsy,such as hematuria,acute urinary retention,urinary tract infection,rectum bleeding,and fever ( P > 0.05 ). Conclusion TRUS-guided prostate biopsy is safe.Use of 1 % tetracaine hydrochloride jelly in the rectum and anus before TRUS-guided prostate biopsy is an effective method for relieving TRUS guided prostate biopsy-induced pain during the procedure.
