But how large was your prostate before the PAE? From the research I've done it only works for those with a small prostate.

Don’t have the exact size handy to report here, but my prostate is/was very large, “a 90 on a scale of 1 to 100,” my cardiologist told me. “You have a very generous prostate,” my GP told me back when they gave you the finger during physical exams. So not true. PAE is quite effective on larger prostates. I’m telling you, I can’t recommend it enough. I backed out from it a year ago because the idea of going through my arteries freaked me out, but I finally realized it was better than TURP by far…
