I never heard about prostate artery embolization. Which doctor type do I look for? Can you be a little more specific. Would I need to find a heart doctor. Appreciate any help. Before I read this blog I was all set to do aquablation but this prostate artery embolization sounds better.

One question : by apparently "plugging" artery blood flow to prostate to strave growth....can you speak to the risk of blood clots should a clot piece break free or am I just misunderstanding something
thank you
got to do something

Fred,

Did you have this done at Mayo Clinic? If not, where and by which doctor?

Thanks,
Paul

Not true. Been in practice 30 years. 99% of docs will tell u what is best. Egregious to assume docs don’t mention options because of competition. Most of us have plenty to do. Also, we do not get kickbacks, do not get paid to prescribe certain medicine. We don’t get paid for referrals. We are not in cahoots with anyone Yes there are some lowlifes out there but I’ve know 100s of docs—maybe several put their wants over patient care.
Just had aqua ablation. Recovery rougher than expected but I’m peeing great now. I do have an unusual symptom I hope goes away soon—erectile pain. Thought I was done w spontaneous erections but getting them now and they hurt like hell. Has only been a week. I believe aqua will replace other bph therapy. PAE can be very effective but often fails after a couple years.
