Has anyone had multiple PAEs either because the first one didn't help or because over time the benefits wore off requiring another one? Were there any adverse side effects? I had a PAE 30 months and while it did reduce my prostate size by 40% it did not relieve any of my BPH symptoms and now the prostate has regrown to its original size (300cc - no median lobe). Thanks.

I had my second PAE six weeks ago. The first one lasted 3 years before I decide to have another one since my insurance covers it now. I am hoping for at least 3 years and maybe 5 since they were a little more aggressive this time using smaller beads with the procedure. So far the results are ok, but hoping for more improvement. I am peeing with no medication. Have no idea what the size is at this point. I am 76.. Wish you all the best.
