Hang in there brothers, you will be good as new in due time. Depending on size of prostate and plenty of other factors recovering proceeds slowly in beginning and before you know you will be saying, wow, this is working! I went through 10 days of living hell and then daily improvements. Three years out and it’s like I’m 30 again.

Success rate is pretty high as I understand it. Good luck!

Unfortunately the downside of PAE is that after some time you need to repeat it, and the incidence rate of sucess is a little above 50%. I have to make HOLEP and I expect not to have BPH symptoms anymore. Bur after 110 days, I´m still feeling burning sensation when peeing, urgency and frequency.

Thanks for the encouragement! You just made my day. Only got up 5 times last night and the pain while urinating is GONE. Day 21
