Prostate Artery Embolization
Prostate Artery Embolization
A common condition among many aging men is benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a noncancerous condition where the prostate becomes enlarged, and urinary issues start to take hold. If you are experiencing the following symptoms, you could have an enlarged prostate:
- Frequent or urgent need to urinate
- Increased frequency of urination at night (nocturia)
- Difficulty starting urination
- Weak urine stream or a stream that stops and starts
- Dribbling at the end of urination
- Inability to completely empty the bladder
Our interventional radiologists may decide to perform a Prostate Artery Embolization – a minimally invasive procedure which will block the blood supply and shrink the prostatic tissue.
