Huge prostate (250) with urinary stop/start issues

I just saw my urologist last week. He suggested to continue with taking flomax and finasteride. However, he further suggested that should start/stop symptoms worsen to consider PAE which is a less invasive office procedure, or if it doesn't work at prostate reduction, then return for HoLEP laser surgery which can be done safely after unsuccessful PAE.
I would appreciate any thoughts from the support group.
Gratefully,

I'm the acronym buster. Prostate artery embolization (PAE) is a minimally invasive treatment for enlarged prostate.
