@cgriffin3, using the search, I found these discussions and members talking about Prostate Artery Embolization

My husband just had his 9 days ago. The procedure itself he had no problems. He was there 4 hours. He said the doctor explained everything. The nurse shaved the area and gave him a couple Valium. He was awake but very relaxed. No pain just a little pressure. Had to stay lying down for 2 hours after. He was a little shaky when I picked him up but otherwise OK. We had prescribed meds at home. Basically ibuprephen for pain and an antibiotic, prednisone, prilosec, a medicine for urinary burning that turned his pee bright orange. The first few days he described as hell. Dribbled burning lava and up most of the night feeling like he had to pee but no stream. Then a huge bruise from the catheter site. Next bloody stools (bright red). Called the doctors office and they said all expected. He did not feel he was properly prepared for the discomfort. On the 5th day, he had a somewhat normal stream of urine for the 1st time but still getting up 4 to 6 times at night. Still burning and mostly dribbles but a couple more times had a normal stream. Still bleeding from his butt. He is slowly getting back to his baseline from before the surgery. I'll update next week. Ultimately if it works it will be worth it. Keeping our fingers crossed.
