You might have to change into a hospital gown and take off your clothes, depending on the part of your body being biopsied. It will also tell you whether you should lie on your stomach, side, or back, or whether you should sit up. It's crucial to remain motionless throughout the process.

Initially, your doctor might apply a topical medication to the biopsy site to make it numb.
