Greg had been searching for a treatment for his enlarged prostate and learned about the Urolift and STEAM procedures and soon discovered that due to the size of his prostate, he was not a candidate. He was determined to find something that could minimize the adverse side effects he suffered from his enlarged prostate and continued his research. He was excited to hear that Yale was doing Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) for men with his size prostate. He was all set to make the trip to Yale when he learned from his doctor that the team at Windsong Interventional and Vascular Services was offering the same treatment. Long story short, Greg did not have to travel out of network for the PAE and he is telling everyone about his newfound life and the great team at Windsong. For Greg, the greatest benefit of the treatment has been his ability to go 3 ½ hours without having to use a bathroom. This is a big deal for a man who likes to travel all over the world and at one time had a catheter inserted to travel across the ocean. Post his procedure, Greg is happy to report another benefit - the constipation issues that accompanied his enlarged prostate have greatly improved. Greg happily states, “I am now able to go on long walks on the beach for hours at a time without having to stop to urinate.” No longer must he stop at every bathroom along the beach. Greg added, “Everyone at Windsong was unbelievable. The compassion shown to my wife and I was amazing.”
