Prostate Artery Embolisation (PAE)
Non-Surgical Shrinkage of the Prostate
What it is
PAE is a minimally invasive radiological procedure where the blood supply to the prostate is selectively reduced, leading to gradual shrinkage of the gland and improvement in urinary symptoms. It avoids surgical cuts and may be considered for select patients.
Who is eligible:
Men who prefer a non-surgical approach or those who may be high-risk for conventional surgery, depending on evaluation.
Benefits:
- Minimally invasive with no surgical incision
- No major anesthesia in many cases
- Minimal bleeding
- Short recovery period
- Gradual symptom improvement
Recovery time:
Most patients return to their daily routine within a few days, with improvement continuing over the following weeks.
