Enlarged Prostate? Explore Treatment Without Surgery

RIVEA Vascular Institute | 20 March 2026

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), or prostate enlargement, is a common condition in aging men. It can cause symptoms such as frequent urination, weak flow, difficulty starting urination, and waking up multiple times at night.

While surgery has been the traditional treatment, Prostatic Artery Embolization (PAE) offers a modern, minimally invasive alternative. This procedure works by blocking the blood supply to the prostate, helping reduce its size and improve symptoms over time.

PAE is typically a safe, day-care procedure that allows faster recovery without major surgery.

To maintain prostate health:

• Get regular health checkups
• Stay well hydrated
• Follow a healthy lifestyle
• Consult a doctor if symptoms appear
