    BHP and Prostatic Artery Embolization (PAE) - MY STORY

    Dr I did my 2 PAEs. Yep he is a great DR that spends time with you before, during and after. He was upfront about the large size of my prostate at the time (200) and said I may need another. First was when he was at UNC, second was after he opened his current practice. PAE is TRULY NON...

    Aquablation: Expanding BPH Management Options

    Here is a podcast that is excelent and as informative as the one above. I think this, and the the one above, go hand-in-hand. Very interesting to hear how the DR evaluates his patient and decideds what he feells is best option:

    BHP and Prostatic Artery Embolization (PAE) - MY STORY

    Time for an update: PAEs (2) did what they were supposed to do. My guess is my continuing issues are the result of the slicing and dicing that was done on me by an incompetent URO. Time between peeing is average of every 2 hours 24/7. Sometime 3 hours or so, other time 1.5 hours. At least at...

    T2 - 3,5-diiodo-l-thyronine Info?

    I looked around and did not see any post on this subject (may not have used the right search phrase?). Wondering if anyone has tried it as an adjunct to typical thyroid meds. From what little I have read may help with folks that have a low T2 level. I see it touted as a workout supp but that...

    BHP and Prostatic Artery Embolization (PAE) - MY STORY

    Hello ALL... Been some time and an update is clearly due:). Been about a year since the QUACK did the TURP. I was still using pee pads (the small ones) and getting up every 1.5 to 2 hrs a night to pee. Same during the day. Just PRIOR to the QUACK doing the TURP I was going to schedule round #2...

    Waking up to urinate 2 or 3 times during the night?

    You might see if you can get an MRI of your prostate. That will show how big. Not sure if a simple "finger wave" goes far enough to reach the end and cover the entire prostate. IF your uro says we need to do a TRUP I would think twice and do a LOT.... Did I say a LOT..... of research. I had a...

    BHP and Prostatic Artery Embolization (PAE) - MY STORY

    ALL input is GOOD input. I wanted the LEAST invasive procedure to try and PAE was it. I do not (at present) have any other conditions such as negative MRIs or biopsies that would have complicated the process to determine the LEAST invasive procedure to try and mitigate my situation. I would...

    1. YEP PAE first then a TURP on top of the PAE. Hmmmm URO doing both? I want to think that PAEs are done primarily by vascular specialist Process similar to having a stent put in the heart but they inject little balls of stuff into one of your arteries, on each side, feeding part of your...

    Applying compounded test cream

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimethyl_sulfoxide https://www.webmd.com/vitamins/ai/ingredientmono-874/dimethylsulfoxide-dmso I would be surprised if your DR agrees. It is used for a number of off-label conditions. It is used as a horse liniment also. You can buy it over the internet. Has a low...

    BHP and Prostatic Artery Embolization (PAE) - MY STORY

    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."
