From my Dr.: "PAE does not effect erectile function or cause dry ejaculation. The only effect it may have is to reduce the volume of ejaculate. This only happens in some patients."

12 DEC update. Had follow-up with the DR last week. Frequency was around every 30 mins directly after the procedure for a number of days. Slowly increasing to longer intervals. From average of 30 mins to 1 hour to 1.5 hrs to recently 2 hrs. Initial 30 min freq was the body going WTF just...

As I recall my prostate was pushing up on the balder and the bladder may have been holding back a bit of urine so the bladder thinks it has to empty again:). There may be some swelling of the prostate after the PAE that goes down over time. I think the frequent peeing was just the body going WTF...

I am not sure how reliable a DRE is when one has a large prostate (mine bein 3X yours). I dont think ANY of URO's EVER said anything about how large my prostates was. It was only after my MRI W/Bush that he addressed the size of mine.

Vince, Prayers with you. Here is a link to a colon cancer group that my be of interest: https://www.inspire.com/groups/fight-colorectal-cancer/

UPDATE 1 O.K. - 12 DAYS POST PROCEDURE After the procedure there was some discomfort (some say burning) when I had to pee and frequency was ramped up (like very 30mins to every hour). That started to diminish about 2 or 3 days ago. Now peeing with MOSTLY no discomfort and nearing zero...

NO PAIN during the procedure. I was awake, with NO meds, for the entire procedure. Cath could have gone in the leg or wrist. The Dr. used my wrist. Felt the shot of lidocaine into the wrist where the cath went in. Felt minor reaction to the drug that was used to keep the arteries open and felt...

1. Everyone is different and have different symptoms and most likely a bit different procedure. 2. Dr. did not go into great detail on 1st night being worst but covered a number of situations that could happen. My guess is each persons body will react to a significant part of blood flow to...

Answers from the DR. :) 1. We do not go through the heart. The descending thoracic aorta goes by the heart but not through it. 2. The beads do not prevent you from having any other procedure.

My guess. I did not think the left wrist artery had a direct line to the femoral artery but if it does that was what I was feeling, the cath changing lanes so to speak. Someone with more vascular knowledge might be able to answer that. What ever way it went I only experienced a very minor...

Long story short… Large prostate. NO PCa. Getting up at night every 1.5 to pee. Getting old with that. Researched minimally invasive procedures. Procedure covered by insurance. NO DICING AND SLICING because of possible sides! TULSAPRO looked good but insurance would not cover. Researched PAE...

Did not see PAE in the mix?

TY Blackhawk. As PCa is currently not an issue, less invasive methods look better. I had a phone consulate with Dr Isaacson a few days ago and went over the whole procedure to include good points and negative points. https://www.med.unc.edu/radiology/directory/ari-isaacson/ PAE works better with...

Yep. On 5mg of Cialis now. Not sure if it is helping or not, but it does have other positive attributes beside BPH and erectile help. I get up to pee about 4 or 5 times a night and only way to see if it is helping would be to stop taking it:) Getting up 4 or 5 times a night is enough:) I...

I am currently looking into procedures for BPH. The more research I do PAE is sounding more and more like the path I will take. LARGE prostate (186cc)! Minimally invasive. From reports from folks that have had it done good results. May not be a the final fix, but might fill the gap till better...

Blackhawk, this may be the site you mentioned? https://patient.info/forums/discuss/browse/prostate-problems-1772

UPDATE i WAS LOOKING FOR MY ORIGINAL POST BUT IT MUST HAVE DISAPEARED:) SHORT STORY BELOW:) Hmmm I have a thread or 2 on my PSA. I was waaaay higher than you. DR wanted to do a blind biopsy. Not no, but hell no. Lets do a 4K blood test. Results were good. Still over 4. Lets do a blind biopsy...

As noted above there are a LOT of things that can raise your PSA BESIDES cancer. As noted above IF you have concerns and IF you see a Urol and first words out of his mouth are TRUSS BIOPSY, say not only no but HELL NO... As noted above there are blood test (4K is one) that helps you make a...

Doxycycline. Prostate massage will most likely raise the PSA:) I would think if you really want to see what is going on your need your DR to order an MRI.

Might want to research LDN https://www.ldnscience.org/ and https://ldnresearchtrust.org/what-is-low-dose-naltrexone-ldn Might help.

What E2 test was used. Standard or Sensitive?

Pure Encapsulation makes a 10mg cap. Ck Amazon

YEP!!!! Google "thalidomide babies"

My first post has link to one online company that offers the WESTERN BLOT.

Skip the ELISA test and go straight to the WESTERN BLOT. The ELISA is the one that can give the FALSE NEGITIVE. The WESTERN BLOT gives true results.

Yep. That about covers it:)

Good thresd here to read: https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/very-basic-guide-to-lyme-disease-in-the-usa.11954/#post-170121 Order it yourself if you have the $$$$. Your DR may give you push back or want to run the prewestern blot test that the CDC says to do BEFOR doing the western blot...

Read my older post about my Daughters encounter with Lyme. Just one of those "out side the box" things that ALMOST ALL DRS MISS until it is waaaaay tooooo late. AND if your DR ask if you have have ever had a "Bullseye" rash, and you say NO, and he says you do not Lyme ..... Then he is an...

Look for some of my older post on lyme. You can order your own test online as long as you are not in the hadfull of backward states that do not allow it. 1. Walkin labs is one source: https://www.walkinlab.com/products/view/lyme-disease-western-blot-blood-test Other online labs will have it...

If you can afford labs I would recommend doing one thing for a week and do labs. Make changes and wait a week and do labs to see impact. If more changes, than more labs. Without labs you have no idea where you are at. If you are going to try scrotal applications of 50mg (2 clicks) twice a day...
