i had had retro from the BPH medicines, mainly Finesteride & Avodart for a number of years. I hated it. To me it took away a lot of the pleasure of orgasm. I had a PAE April 1st 2014 and quit taking BPH medicines. I am happy to say that not only do I not have any BPH symptoms, but my sex life returned to normal. I will turn 70 this year.

Im 9 months out from my PAE and pee like a horse, no impotence, no incontinence, no retro and I have improved sexual function.
Dont ng ask a urologist about PAE because most of them will bag it cos they are worried about PAE decimating their incomes.
See an Interventional Radiologist.

There is a stack of stuff on this site on PAE.
Basically tney go in through an artery in your groin and feed a very long very thin tube (catheter) into the arteries that feed your prostate with blood. They inject tiny pellets into these arteries to partially block them. This reduces the blood supply to your prostate and makes it shrink. Mine went from 120cc to 85cc.
Very safe procedure with no side effects. The urologists won't tell you about it. They'd rather you go through the butchery of TURP to protect their wallets.
Check it out...there's a ton of stuff here with many, many guys telling of their PAE experiences.
Cheers

I am 62, just had a TURP done in October 2015. Won't bore you with the details, but the best decision I could have made. My urologist warned me about the retro, but at that time I was having intense burning at ejaculation. Doc said that would go away, it did. Some guys say that they do not feel the same sensation, I can honestly tell you that my burning is gone, and the sensation is identicle to what it was years ago. No regrets from me.

Turp has a significant chance of impotence and or incontinence while PAE has none. TURP is 100% retro whole PAE has no retro.
TURP has cutting and several days recovery while PAE has no cutting and just a day procedure or maybe an overnight.
And just as a sweetener, 30% of PAE patients report improved sexual function and I was lucky enough to be in that group.

With TURP I hope I will be able to stop taking Tamsulosin and doing self CIC. I have some fears of incontinence but according to stats chance is about 1-2% and more associated with older age.
If Gods will is for me to be one of it, I am accepting it.
