Optilume balloon therapy for BPH

I am 78, very active and healthy. Had years of urgency, weak stream, multi nighttime trips to the toilet, never went anywhere without first concern “where’s the nearest toilet.” Took finesteride but could not tolerate flomax. Turned down TURP offers many times as too risky for my taste. Three months ago had PROSTATE ARTERY EMBOLIZATION. All previous symptoms already gone, pee like I am 19 again. Easy procedure with zero sexual or other side effects. Best thing I ever did. I believe this new procedure done by a radiologist will be the new BPH treatment Gold Standard and put urologists and their scalpels out of business. You definitely should check it out!

I've been thinking on this procedure for a while. I believe that prostate needs to be of certain volume to qualify and mine is not there. Did you get that from the radiologist that prostate needs to be of certain volume? Thanks in advance for your reply.
