Prostate Artery Embolization

Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) is a minimally invasive and innovative procedure we want to inform you about, particularly if you’re suffering from an enlarged prostate, a condition known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). PAE offers an alternative to traditional surgical treatments like transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) or open surgery.

During PAE, a catheter is carefully guided through a small incision in the groin to access the arteries that supply blood to the prostate. Tiny particles are then injected into these arteries, effectively reducing blood flow to the enlarged prostate. This, in turn, causes the prostate to shrink, relieving the urinary symptoms associated with BPH.

The advantages of PAE are significant. It is a minimally invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia, usually on an outpatient basis. Recovery time is shorter compared to traditional surgical methods, and there is typically less discomfort and fewer complications. PAE also preserves sexual function and doesn’t carry the risk of incontinence, which can be associated with some other treatments.

If you’re experiencing urinary problems due to an enlarged prostate and are seeking an alternative to surgery, PAE is a promising option. However, it’s essential to consult with a urologist or vascular specialist who specializes in this procedure. We can assess your specific condition, discuss the potential benefits, and address any questions or concerns you may have. Your comfort and well-being are of utmost importance, and PAE is one of the cutting-edge approaches we can offer to help improve your quality of life.
