Prostatic Artery Embolization (PAE)

PAE is an advanced treatment that helps men with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), or an enlarged prostate, find lasting relief from urinary symptoms.

Performed by an interventional radiologist using imaging guidance, a thin catheter is inserted through a small incision in the groin or wrist and guided to the arteries supplying the prostate. Microscopic particles are then released to reduce blood flow, causing the gland to shrink and easing pressure on the bladder and urethra.

PAE avoids the need for major surgery or general anesthesia, and most patients return to normal activities within days. Many experience improved bladder control, reduced urgency, and fewer nighttime trips to the bathroom within weeks.
