Prostate Artery Embolization for BPH. Anyone have it done?

AllCON:
Age 66 and had I had artery embolization (AE) almost 2 years ago. Unfortunately it did not have the desired impact on urgency, flow, and trips to the bathroom. Therefore had an aqua oblation procedure done which is certainly more invasive and requires a catheter and longer recovery time. After some 6 months it appears to have solved my issues but sometimes do have pain urinating and pass small debris in the urine. The surgeon is not sure if this is calcified prostate material or perhaps bladder stones. I am exercising vigorously and my prostate seems to be under control.

Why did the Dr not check for bladder stones when he did your aqua? That is what my Dr did. Where did U have this done and by what Dr if I may ask? Thanks

Hello aapisani5,
Thank you so much for the reply. I will keep this in mind for when I make a decision. I am using supplements, which do help a little; however, I will need to have my prostate reduced at some point soon. I'm sorry you had to undergo two procedures, but I am glad your prostate seems to be under control. I wish for the day and the night when I do not have to get up to urinate three to four times.
