Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE)

Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) is a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment for an enlarged prostate (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia – BPH). It works by blocking blood flow to specific areas of the prostate, helping shrink it and relieve urinary symptoms.

Treatments

  • Performed under local anesthesia by an interventional radiologist
  • Uses a catheter to deliver tiny particles into prostate arteries
  • Reduces prostate size without major surgery
  • Offers quicker recovery and fewer side effects compared to traditional procedures

Symptoms and Causes

  • Symptoms of BPH: Frequent urination, weak urine stream, difficulty starting/stopping urination, nighttime urination, incomplete bladder emptying
  • Causes: Age-related prostate growth, hormonal changes, family history, lifestyle factors

Prevention

  • Maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise
  • Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains
  • Limit caffeine and alcohol intake
  • Go for regular prostate health check-ups after age 50 or earlier if high-risk
