Sure, if your insurance covers a second opinion, or you can afford it, any time you have doubts or just want to have a second opinion before a proceedure, you can. The first doctor will understand and most will encourage a parient to get another doctor's opinion if they have doubts.
If you have questions, such as having your hormones checked, you should clear these up, and get as much information as you can about having the proceedure, and what could be the consequences of not doing anything.
"A biopsy is most often done to examine tissue for disease," according to the National Institues of Health.
This ultimately will be your decision, get as much information as you can.
