Yes, they do hurt but the doctor can also give a local numbing to prevent the major part of the pain from the operation. And then you can take a over the counter pain med tylenol,advil maybe even aspirin fro any pain afterwards.if your having a biopsy ask your doctor what they can do to minimize any discomfort during and after.that's what they are there for. If you don't talk to the doctor then you don't have the knowledge to make a informed choice of how to handle the operation.
