While patients may experience some discomfort, breast biopsies are generally well-tolerated and considered minimally invasive. Local anesthesia is typically administered to numb the area before the biopsy. During the procedure, patients may feel pressure or a slight pulling sensation, but it should not be painful. After the biopsy, mild soreness or bruising at the biopsy site is common and can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication. Results from the biopsy are usually available within a few days, allowing for prompt follow-up discussions with healthcare providers regarding the next steps in diagnosis and treatment planning.
