Struggling with symptoms like frequent urination, weak stream or restless nights due to an enlarged prostate? Don't worry, help is available for you. Get in touch with Dr. Basavaraj Biradar, a trusted Interventional Radiologist, for advanced prostate artery embolization (PAE) in Bengaluru for a minimally invasive treatment for BPH.
First, Let's Understand What Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) Is?
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a condition where the prostate gland, surrounding the urethra, gradually enlarges with age. Due to this enlargement, the urinary passage is squeezed, making it difficult for urine to flow freely.
BPH is very common, especially after the age of 50. By age 60, nearly half of men have some signs of it. And while this condition is not life-threatening, it can deeply affect their quality of life. Medications can provide temporary relief for a while, but they can lose effectiveness over time or cause other side effects. On the other hand, surgery comes with its own risks. This is where Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) comes into the picture.
What Is PAE and How Does It Work?
PAE is a minimally invasive procedure that uses the body's own vascular highways to gently and effectively reduce the size of the prostate.
Done under local anaesthesia, a tiny catheter is inserted, usually through the wrist or the groin area, and guided to the arteries that feed the prostate. Then, using real-time imaging, your interventional radiologist will deliver microscopic particles that block these vessels. This will reduce blood flow and cause the enlarged tissue to shrink gradually.
Who Is A Candidate for PAE?
If you've been struggling with an enlarged prostate and medications aren't working well or their side effects are wearing you down, PAE can be especially helpful in these cases. It's ideal for those who:
- Have moderate to severe urinary symptoms from BPH
- Can't undergo surgery due to other health problems
- Are looking to avoid the risks of general anaesthesia
- Want to preserve their quality of life
Recovery and Results
One of the most reassuring things about PAE is that it is a minimally invasive procedure. Most patients can go home the same day or the next morning, without the long recovery that comes with traditional surgery.
After the procedure, you may feel a little discomfort or mild pelvic cramping for a few days, but that can be managed with medications. Most patients are able to get back on their feet and return to their usual routine in less than a week.
Over the following weeks and months, you will notice relief in symptoms. The results aren't overnight, but they are lasting. Many men report significant improvements all without cutting, stitches or long hospital stays.
Why Patients Choose PAE?
- No major procedure
- No general anaesthesia
- Minimal pain and quick recovery
- No large incision
- Preservation of sexual & urinary function
Most of the patients who undergo PAE are able to return home in a day or two and many are back to work or their daily routine within a matter of few days.
