I was referred to Doctor Z Aldin in April 2022 for the Embolisation procedure, after talking to members of staff at Harlow Hospital and Dr Aldin I was given a full breakdown of procedure and all questions were answered, I felt very safe and confident in the procedure, I was sent for MRI an CT Scan the procedure was very professional and I must say the staff at Harlow Hospital were outstanding, On the day of procedure I was prepared for procedure which I must say was nothing like I expected, just a hospital gown and a catheter in my hand and that was it. I was taken to an x ray area and i was asked to lay on the x ray bed, everything was straight forward as I had been informed, the x ray table was set up to allow Dr Aldin to perform the procedure. I felt next to nothing , the only thing I felt was a minor sting in my arm from the insertion of a small tube , after that it was just watching the x ray screen and Dr Aldin with his staff complete the procedure, when complete the staff returned me to the Radiology area to rest and have my dressing checked to make sure ok to go home, I went home the same day as procedure, I had no problems or bleeding, took a couple of pain killers first couple of days only from slight discomfort but nothing to think about. my procedure lasted about two and a half to three hours. I would like to Thank Dr Aldin and all his staff for there exceptional care and outstanding professionalism , People complain about the NHS but I do not think you could have received better care in any other Hospital anywhere. I thank you all. I am after only 4 months and recent tests confirmed my Prostrate had reduced by 40% I do not have any of the previous problems known with prostrate i can even walk past a toilet without going in just in case. Those suffering with prostrate will know what I mean. I can now sleep all night with only getting up a max of once sometimes. Life is much better .

I was referred to Dr Aldin for a Prostate Artery Embolisation. I found Dr Aldin explanation of the procedure very helpful and lucid. The procedure was carried out with empathy by Dr Aldin and his staff, it was performed professionally and with the minimum of discomfort. The aftermath to the procedure I found that I had no pain or discomfort and did not even have to take pain killing tablets once. My symptoms are showing improvement and I am sure will continue to do so. I have every faith in Dr Aldin and his staff, I found them very caring and approachable, I have no problem in advising fellow sufferers to have this procedure. Chris Miles

After suffering for the last seven years with an enlarged prostrate and having had two biopsy which was not a nice procedure and having to keep going to the toilet every two hours which was not nice and constantly worrying ,I would have a wee and the about ten minutes later would want to go again ,my consultant suggested I see dr aldin which I did and have a prostrate arterial embolisation which I had six weeks ago although not pleasant at the time I now do not need to keep visiting the toilet and most nights get a full nights sleep and it’s only early days yet. A very relieved patient . Many thanks that I can start leading a normal life .

Dr Zaid Aldin managed my care from the explanation of the procedure, through to the CT scan, the pre-assessment, and the procedure itself. I chose to have a sedative, mainly because I felt I would get fidgety given the possible length of time I would have to lay still but, other than that, I was not particularly worried about the procedure itself or post-op recovery. Indeed, post-operatively speaking, in the event for me it was almost like I hadn't had an operation. I did have the same symptoms of poor flow for a few days after the op and these were a little stronger than before. I also has a mild fever on the third day, but I never needed to use the strong pain killers Dr Aldin prescribed - just an occasional dose paracetamol over the first few days. By the end of the first week the flow had for the most part dramatically improved. Now after seven weeks the flow is great, and I do not have to wait for the flow to start off by encouraging my bladder area to relax - it’s just like turning a tap on - one second no flow then the next second full flow! I thoroughly recommend the op, and the doctor! Good luck! Calvin
