Prostate artery embolization (PAE) is a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure that is used to treat symptoms of an enlarged prostate, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). PAE involves the injection of tiny particles into the arteries that supply blood to the prostate, blocking them and reducing blood flow to the gland. This causes the prostate to shrink, relieving urinary symptoms such as frequent urination, difficulty starting and stopping urine flow, and incomplete emptying of the bladder. PAE is a safe and effective alternative to traditional surgical treatments for BPH, with a shorter recovery time and fewer side effects. It is performed by interventional radiologists, who use advanced imaging techniques to guide the procedure and ensure accurate placement of the embolic particles. If you are suffering from BPH, talk to our experienced team of Doctors about whether prostate artery embolization is the right treatment option for you.
