Unveiling a New Edge in the Treatment of enlarged prostate
Prostate gland is a small organ of the size of a walnut, located beneath the bladder (where urine is stored) and surrounds the urethra (tube carrying urine from bladder).
According to research, BPH (Benign Prostate Hyperplasia) affects 50% of males in older age. It refers to the enlargement of the prostate gland with increasing age. The enlarged prostate gland compresses the urethra leading to urinary obstruction and causing difficulty in urination.
Symptoms of BPH
-
Frequent urination (frequency) especially at night
-
Weak urinary stream
-
Inability to hold urine (urgency)
-
Constant urge to pass urine but unable to do so.
-
Irritation and pain while voiding the urine.
-
Leaking of urine/ loss of control of the urinary bladder.
-
The inability to pass urine needing catheterization
-
Infection in the urinary tract.
Providing A Revolutionary Minimally Invasive Treatment For Benign Prostate Hyperplasia
If you have the above symptoms but you are reluctant to undergo surgical interventions due to fear of side effects or are under the high-risk category and can’t opt for surgery, PAE is the best option of treatment you can consider to get back your health freedom and improvise your quality of life.
Prostate Artery Embolization: Experts’ Most Acclaimed
PAE is a procedure that selectively blocks the blood supply to the enlarged prostate which arrests the further enlargement of the gland. This procedure helps in reducing the size of the hyperplastic prostate. Once the gland shrinks, it relieves the pressure on the urethra, thereby providing relief to the patient. It is carried out by our expert who is a trained vascular interventional radiologist and one of country’s leading practitioner of PAE. The entire procedure is done under local anaesthesia in a specialized suite called as Cath Lab.
Afraid of surgery for enlarged prostate?: PAE is your option
The PAE procedure begins with a tiny incision of the size of pinhole in your upper thigh or wrist. A small catheter is the inserted and guided to the arteries, that is blood vessels supplying the prostate. Next, PVA particles or embospheres, tiny round particles each about the size of a grain of sand, are injected through the catheter and into the blood vessels that feed your prostate, reducing its blood supply. This procedure does not require any incision / placement of scopes in the urethra. There is no bleeding or injury to the private parts expected during or because of the procedure

Frequently Asked Questions
Most frequent questions and answers
Answer: Prostate gland secretes prostatic fluid, which forms a part of the normal semen. This fluid helps in nourishment of the sperms and reduces acidity of the vaginal fluid.
Answer: Aging in males is the most significant and predisposing factor that causes BPH. Varicocele is the also one of the causes where the spermatic vein valves undergo destruction leading to the passage of testosterone directly to the prostate from the testes. The heredity and family history also increases the probability of BPH.
Answer: Serum PSA level is done to differentiate BPS from prostate cancer. Typically, PSA levels are highly raised in prostate cancer. IN equivocal cases, biopsy of the prostate gland and/or MRI of the prostate gland may also be ordered to differentiate between these two conditions.
Answer: Reduce the intake of alcohol and caffeine. Drink small amounts of liquids throughout the day. Stop drinking one or two hours before bed, so that you don’t have to get up frequently at night.
Answer: Because once the prostate growth starts it often keeps growing until treated which would just increase the symptoms a person is suffering. It can complicate to cause infection in the urinary tract and ultimately lead to kidney damage.
