RIVEA Vascular Institute | 14 April 2026

Frequent urination, weak urine flow, interrupted sleep, or difficulty emptying the bladder are some of the most common symptoms men experience with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), also known as an enlarged prostate.

Dr. Arjun Reddy, one of South India’s leading Interventional Radiologists at RIVEA Vascular Institute, explains how prostate enlargement develops with age and the treatment options now available beyond conventional surgery.

Modern, minimally invasive care approaches including Prostatic Artery Embolization (PAE), are designed to reduce prostate size and improve urinary symptoms without major surgery.

Drawing on his experience performing numerous successful PAE procedures, Dr Reddy explains how many patients are able to achieve symptom relief with faster recovery and reduced procedural burden compared to traditional surgical approaches.

The discussion covers:

• What BPH is and why prostate enlargement occurs
• Common urinary symptoms linked to enlarged prostate
• How prostate enlargement is diagnosed
• Medications used for BPH and their possible side effects
• Surgical and minimally invasive treatment options
• How Prostatic Artery Embolization (PAE) works and who may benefit

The feature also highlights the growing role of minimally invasive prostate care in helping patients return to normal daily life with less downtime and without major surgery.
