Day 2 after having my PAE from Dr. Bagla
Posted , 7 users are following.
Got a good night sleep how didnt have to get up because I chose to have catheter attached with a leg bag. I knew I'd would be on plane, so it would make my trip back home a lot more comfortable and it works. The thing I love about this I've had this insertion and have worn one as long as 5 days 6 days, upon leaving the emergency rooms at different hospitals because of retention. The one thing I like about that is it allows me to drink as much water as I want and it empties itself so that was a blessing. But I must report that I'm still feeling no pain, uncomfortable a little bit in the rectum area which is near the prostate and I was told that may occur. it's not a great uncomfortability it's just something that I noticed. On day two I can already tell that I won't have any problems with erections because it just gets hard so many times I have to think of something else to make it go down LOL and that's a blessing in itself. All in all I'm thrilled that I chose to have a PAE, I'm guessing the results can work differently on different people who have different issues but for me this was the Platinum bullet that I needed. I don't know if this helps anyone from reading this but for all my brothers who are going through retention or any type of prostate issues, I wish you godspeed and I pray you peace.

At any rate on my first visit to my second urologist he was surprised I had worn the Foley for so long, and it was replaced it was replaced with self-cath, which really isn't difficult to perform and doesn't interfere with sexual activity.
I could ramble on and on about the Foley, I really despise them, but I wish you well with the PAE. All urologists are not equal in competence, fortunately I've found one I have confidence in, and wish the same for you (don't know if you being treated by a radiologist or urologist).

PAE's are only performed by Interventional Radiologists.
I had my PAE a year ago ...couldn't be happier.

I was surprised that you took a plane the same day. Did Dr Bagla give you any instructions for reduced activity for awhile?
Do you have a local urol that will handle your aftercare? Will Dr. Bagla be involved?
Congrats again.

I was in so much discomfort that I would have taken a plane to any place for the right radiologist to perform my procedure. Thank God I didn't have to go to Timbuktu! Take care.

Hi. Thank you for your posts. I'm a former resident of Buenos Aires--a wonderful, fascinating city. I'm considering having the PAE procedure with Dr. Bagla and would love to hear how you're doing four months on.
