Prostate Artery Embolization- Michael- A Patients Story

[@peterbrassington5256]

I have for 3 years been self catherterizing. I had been offered different procedures, but felt they had too many side effects. I had the PAE procedure May 22 2023. My doctor said that it would be 5-6 weeks before I would feel benefit of the operation. 5 weeks 2 days after the procedure I started to pass urine, without a catheter. My life has changed for the best. I am 72, I would definitely recommend this operation.

I tried a prostate artery embolization "PAE" nine weeks ago with zero results,. Prostate was at 120. Will be doing the Aquablation June 13th.

I had the PAE procedure two years ago with no benefits. The procedure took six hours and was pure hell. Big mistake for me. My problem is overactive bladder, not an enlarged prostate. Never should have had the PAE done. Now I take pumpkin seed oil tablets daily and amy doing much better. Good luck.

What would you suggest sir? Im young and have sympthoms...im worryed !

Well, people usually take pumpkin seeds for an enlarged prostate. They must have measured the sized of your prostate before they did the procedure. What's up, your post doesn't make much sense.
