What to Expect After a PAE

Prostate artery embolization (PAE) shrinks the prostate gland by starving it of the majority of its blood supply. The size reduction occurs over months and results from a complicated process on a cellular level versus surgical resections. Are you wondering what to expect after a prostate artery embolization? Dr Preston Smith highlights the days, weeks and months following your procedure.

Had mine five days ago. Burning urination off the charts. Urgency off the charts. Hope I didn’t make a mistake choosing this procedure. Frequency I can barely keep up with how often I have to go.

After my PAE I was in pain for a month and it was a lot of pain

I had PAE done two years ago in England _(NHS)._ It totally failed to have *any* effect but I'm sure that if I had paid for it privately I wouldn't have got my money back!!!

Why the blood in feces?
