Minimally Invasive Treatments by Leading Interventional Radiologists in Houston, TX
Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive procedure designed to treat BPH by reducing the prostate’s size. During PAE, tiny particles are injected into the arteries supplying blood to the prostate, effectively blocking the blood flow. This causes the prostate to shrink, relieving symptoms without the need for surgery, lengthy recovery times, or significant risks associated with traditional procedures.
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) affects millions of men, causing symptoms like frequent urination, difficulty emptying the bladder, and disrupted sleep. Left untreated, BPH can lead to more serious complications, impacting your quality of life. Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) offers a non-surgical solution to relieve these symptoms by reducing the size of the prostate, helping you get back to living your life without the constant interruption of BPH.
