An enlarged prostate, or Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), is one of the most common conditions affecting men over 50 and can lead to symptoms such as frequent urination, a weak urine stream, urgency, and disturbed sleep. While medications and surgery are well-known treatment options, they are not the only approaches available today.

In this video, Dr. Arjun Reddy explains the causes and symptoms of BPH, how it affects urinary function, and the latest treatment options, including Prostatic Artery Embolization (PAE). Learn how this minimally invasive procedure works, its potential benefits, including faster recovery and no major incisions, and what current medical evidence says about PAE and sexual function.

If you've been diagnosed with an enlarged prostate or advised to undergo surgery, understanding all available treatment options can help you make a more informed decision.
