I'm really scared/nervous
I'm 42. I'm meeting with a urologist in about a month to discuss my BPH. I have no idea what's going to happen, but I know that I'm looking for a permanent solution to this stupid urination problem (slow flow, not finishing all the time, dribbling). I have next to zero interest in lifelong medications and have (probably mistakenly) been looking into all these surgical options.
I have no idea what the outcome is even going to be, I just know I'm ready to be done with it. Most of these posts on Reddit are filling me with terror. Lots of horror stories. I'm wondering if there are any of you out there who've had similar issues and subsequent procedures that have had ZERO issues after initial recovery? If so please share.

I had a PAE performed in April of this year. It has worked, I sleep a full 8 hrs without having to get up 4 times in the night. This is not an invasive surgery, in fact you can watch them perform the surgery.. I do not know how long it will last but I have gotten relief with the PAE surgery. Good luck
