Signs & Symptoms of BPH

Enlarged prostate, or Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), affects millions of aging males. However, this condition is treatable. Reach out to our skilled doctors at National Vascular Associates for treatment options.

Common symptoms include:

Difficulty starting a urinary stream

Dribbling at the end of urination

Having to urinate frequently

Increased urinary frequency at night

Inability to urinate

Inability to completely empty the bladder

Urinary Tract Infection (U.T.I.)

What to Expect with P.A.E.

P.A.E. offers a quick, effective return to normal urinary function. Compared to the other surgical treatment modalities, P.A.E. provides many benefits. This procedure is FDA-approved with multiple research trials. P.A.E. also has a low rate of complications, and it shows fewer complications compared to surgical alternatives.

Step 1

A small needle puncture is made in the patient’s upper thigh which gives the doctor access to the artery supplying blood to the prostate.
2

Step 2

Small beads are injected into the arteries supplying the prostate, which reduces the blood flow and shrinks the prostate.
3

Outcome

The reduction of prostate size results in less compression on the urethra and improvement of symptoms.

Advantages of P.A.E.

Accurate diagnosis of hemorrhoids involves the following methods:

No incisions

No bladder catheter is needed (for most patients)

One week recovery at home

No hospital stay

No sexual side effects.

Can be performed on a moderate or large size prostate gland with no upper size limit.
