For men with severe BPH

[ChiroDoc]

For guys with bad BPH, you might want to check into this. Back on March 13 I had a great procedure to shrink my prostate. I've had BPH (benign prostate hyperplasia) for years, and until more recent times medication had adequately treated it. But it had gradually gotten worse and worse, causing frequent and painful urination.

I'd heard about a procedure called prostate arterial embolization (PAE), which causes the prostate gland to shrink. They go in through an artery in your upper thigh with a tiny canula, travel to the arteries that supply the prostate, then deposit minuscule pellets which block blood flow to the gland, thereby shrinking it. It's done by an Interventional Radiologist, not a Urologist. There's not one of those in my area, so I got referred to a guy in New Orleans at Ochsner Medical Center.

The procedure was painless, and it sure beats the hell out of having someone go up through the ole schwantz to access the prostate. I noticed the difference almost immediately. Now I've got a good stream, and I don't have to get up 5-6 times a night !!

I am real glad you are going freely. I am taking Tamsulosin now and my stream is real slow sometimes. I will see the urologist again in a few months.

Glad your BPH got an effective treatment. You know the "up through the ole schwantz" phrase just makes my skin crawl & blood run cold, I'd rather have twice of my afflictions rather than one of the "going up..." problems.

You know, if your were rich and famous the medical procedure would include "something" to mask the discomfort. For the rest of us, the excuse for not getting anesthetized is that they need us to be "awake and alert" for....I forget what the line of bs is...

Heh, heh. Yeah, I think most guys would rather have an alternative method, but most are not aware of it, and I'll guess most urologists don't mention the PAE because it is not they who perform it. It's done by an interventional radiologist.

I'd recommend it. It was comparatively a breeze.

I'm going to ask my doctor about that. I also get up at night and can't urinate. It's not a problem during the day, but every night, I wake up feeling the need to pee, but then I can't go. It's really frustrating.

I had a UroLift procedure about five years ago which was a horrible procedure, and I had excruciating pain and a lot of blood for about five days while it was healing, but then something went wrong and it was back to the way it was before the procedure!

That PAE seems much better.

A friend of ours was going in for a similar procedure only he called it a "Valve grind and a Decoke". Most unpleasant he said.

Thank you. This seems to be quite promising. I'll look into it.
