I would suggest a PAE (prostate artery embolization) instead. They go into an artery in your upper thigh and place very small beads in the two arteries going to your prostate causing the prostate to shrink. I was in and out in half a day and now have an almost normal urine stream. After a year I still get up twice a night, but am no longer taking two FloMax pills a day. A urologist won't mention it as it is done by the doctor that would put in a stent.
