@plynhky I would add i had a PAE/aquablation combo procedure. I had PAE then aqua 5 days later. It reduces bleeding significantly which is an issue with aqua. As a result I only had the catheter 24 hours and recovered perhaps a little quicker. I will say that the PAE was more uncomfortable post procedure than the aquablation. There's a great deal of inflammation and even though it was only 5 days until I had aqua I struggled to urinate and it did hurt some, more than the aqua. Iwas relieved to get the aqua at that point. Again I had a large median lobe so PAE alone was not an option for me. I asked about all the less invasive procedures including PAE and urolift, they weren't options and I was very appreciative of my urologist who performed urolift in his practice who referred me to a Uro in his practice that did Aqua and he recommended the combo procedure. There are risks with PAE as well so you would want a radiologist who does a lot of PAE and is experienced.
