Preemptive PAE to prevent BHP?

Posted , 14 users are following.

my prostate is within normal range but growing every year, rather than allow it to hypertophy to the point it becomes a severe problem would PAE work as a method of preventing it going over 40 grams?

I have urinary issues even at a lower size and have no desire to let them get worse

    It seems from this forum that several people in similar situations have had PAEs. Of course, even if successful, the prostate can always grow back over time.

    Do you have an enlarged median lobe. The procedure has a much better success rate for those without enlarged median lobes.

    Best of luck!
