Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) is a non-invasive outpatient surgery for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH. BPH, or enlarged prostate, is a common problem among older males. Approximately half of the men over 60 will have symptoms such as the frequent need to urinate, particularly at night, urine leakage or dribbling, a weak urine discharge, and difficulty starting urination.

The enlarged prostate treatment in Delhi has acquired popularity in India after it became available in the UK and Brazil. PAE, designed and done by interventional radiologists, is beneficial in men having BPH, acute urine retention, or the inability to urinate, and patients with enlarged prostates.
The Procedure
Prostate Arterial Embolization has been used for years to reduce blood circulation and hemorrhage. An interventional radiologist uses X-ray guidance to introduce a tiny catheter through an artery and administer small particles to restrict blood flow partially. The catheter is connected to the arteries that feed the prostate gland during the enlarged prostate treatment in Delhi. The embolization shrinks the prostate and cures BPH symptoms.

The method works by restricting blood supply to the enlarged prostate gland, causing it to shrink without the dangers associated with traditional surgery. PAE is a surgical approach that does not require a hospital stay and has lesser post-operative discomfort. Symptom relief can be comparable to surgery, but without the sexual or retrograde ejaculation side effects that are common to surgery.
PAE Side Effects
PAE has fewer adverse effects, particularly concerning sexual or ejaculatory dysfunction, and needs minimal recovery time. Furthermore, enlarged prostate treatment in Delhi may be undertaken on any sized prostate and even in individuals who have had prior prostate surgery that has failed.

When drugs fail to relieve severe urinary symptoms caused by BPH, the standard primary therapy is transurethral resection of the prostate, which may have adverse effects.
