Ready to come in?

Many Walton County families visit our Snellville Clinic & Surgery Center (1557 Janmar Rd, Snellville, GA 30078), and Social Circle neighbors are also welcome at our Conyers Clinic (1366 Wellbrook Circle Suite B, Conyers, GA 30012).

How do our urologists approach this?

Before your biopsy, our urologists walk you through what’s normal afterward, so you can tell what’s expected and what isn’t. Light pink urine for a few days is common. When you come back, we’ll review the results together, explain them and agree on what happens next.

What happens at a visit?

Your results visit is time set aside to go through each finding, answer questions and talk about what happens next. Bring someone with you if you’d like.

How should I prepare?

Before a biopsy, let us know about blood thinners, aspirin and supplements so we can plan any pause with your prescribing doctor. Plan to drink plenty of water for the first few days afterward and to take it easy. On the day itself, bring your ID and insurance card and a driver if anesthesia is planned, and keep a list of questions for the results visit.

When should I call?

Call us if pink urine lasts longer than a week or two, or comes back. Clots, trouble passing urine, fever or chills all mean the ER comes first.

What do patients often ask?

These are the questions we hear most, each with a short answer.

Does drinking water help?

Yes. Plenty of water helps keep urine flowing and can clear light pink color.

When should I worry?

Heavy bleeding, clots or trouble urinating aren’t normal. Go to the ER, then call us.
