1. "TURP or nothing." PAE is an established, evidence-supported alternative.
2. "Treatment compromises sexual function." PAE's side effect profile is favorable here.
3. "It's a normal part of aging — just live with it." Quality of life improvements are significant and measurable.
4. "Insurance won't cover it." PAE is covered by Medicare and most commercial payers.
