Prostate Artery Embolisation in Yeshwanthpur

Prostate Artery Embolisation (PAE) is a minimally invasive procedure that reduces the size of an enlarged prostate, relieving symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). BPH is a common condition in ageing men, causing urinary difficulties such as frequent urination, weak urine flow, incomplete emptying, and nocturia. Traditional treatments include medications or surgery, such as transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), but these may come with side effects like sexual dysfunction and incontinence. PAE provides a compelling alternative, preserving normal urinary and sexual function while offering lasting relief.

A small catheter is inserted into the femoral or radial artery during PAE and guided to the arteries supplying the prostate using advanced imaging techniques. Tiny embolic particles are injected into these arteries, reducing blood flow to the enlarged prostate. This controlled reduction in blood supply causes the prostate to shrink gradually, easing pressure on the urethra and improving urinary function. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, minimising discomfort and allowing for a quicker recovery compared to surgical interventions. Most patients experience noticeable symptom improvement within weeks, with continued reduction in prostate size over several months. The success rate of PAE is high, with a lower risk of complications such as bleeding, infection, or erectile dysfunction. It is particularly suitable for patients and candidates for surgery due to underlying health conditions. At Manipal Hospital, Yeshwanthpur, our expert interventional radiologists ensure precise and safe prostate artery embolisation, helping patients regain their comfort and quality of life.
