Prostate Artery Embolization

As the prostate gets bigger, it can constrict or partially block the urethra, causing frustrating symptoms such as urinary frequency, unable to fully empty your bladder, or a weak stream. Prostate artery embolization (PAE) is a non-surgical treatment alternative used to improve lower urinary tract symptoms caused by benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), a noncancerous enlargement of the prostate gland. With this minimally invasive treatment option, you can overcome urinary incontinence and other frustrating symptoms associated with BPH.
