What is Prostatic Artery Embolisation Treatment?
Prostatic Artery Embolisation is a minimally invasive procedure that reduces the urinary tract symptoms caused by Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). It occurs due to benign enlargement and affects many men as they get older.
The treatment is done by an interventional radiologist using X-rays and advanced imaging to block the arteries supplying the prostate, which leads to a decrease in size and reduced symptoms. Dr. Kunal Arora uses his expertise to deliver accurate, safe, and efficient Prostate Artery Embolization treatment in Mumbai for effective relief.
Why and When is PAE Recommended?
Prostatic Artery Embolisation (PAE) is a treatment suggested for males having the main lower urinary tract symptoms caused by Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) that continue even after drug therapy. This disorder is progressive in nature, and thus, symptoms may get worse over time, including blockage of urine flow and difficult urination or frequent urination and urgency.
Dr. Kunal Arora recommends PAE when non-surgical options do not work or when surgery is inappropriate due to a patient’s health or choice. The Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia treatment offers a minimally invasive technique that yields permanent relief, improved urinary flow and quicker recovery than conventional prostate operations.
PAE Treatment Process
1. Initial Consultation
Meet Dr. Kunal Arora and discuss your urinary symptoms and medical history. He evaluates your condition and decides whether Prostatic Artery Embolisation is the most suitable treatment for you.
2. Pre-Procedural Tests
Dr. Kunal Arora can prescribe imaging tests like a CT scan or angiogram. Imaging tests accurately map the prostate arteries and guide precise planning of treatment to achieve effective outcomes.
3. PAE Procedure
The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, in which a catheter is inserted through the groin to the arteries of the prostate gland. Microspheres or embolic coils are released to reduce the blood flow, and thus, safely shrink the prostate.
4. Recovery
Most of the time, patients go home after they have been observed for a short time, which is usually the same day or the next morning. We provide support after treatment to our patients to ease their healing process.
5. Care After Treatment
By performing these check-up visits after PAE treatment, Dr. Kunal Arora is able to keep a close eye on progress and he is also able to assure symptom relief and general urinary health.
How is PAE Different from the Conventional Treatment?
- Minimally Invasive: Dr. Kunal Arora performs enlarged Prostate artery embolization treatment without making incisions. It is a completely different method from TURP or open prostatectomy surgeries.
- Anaesthesia: The procedure is done using local anaesthesia or conscious sedation, with no general anaesthesia.
- Daycare Procedure: Patients get discharged on the same day in most cases. This method results in a quicker recovery than with the use of traditional surgical therapies.
- Lower Risk of Complications: PAE reduces the risk of bleeding and infection, as there are no incisions for the surgery that are involved in regular prostate surgeries.
- Sexual Function: PAE is responsible for the retention of sexual health and is even capable of improvement, as compared to non-surgical methods that put sexual function at risk.
Advantages of PAE
- PAE does not require any incisions and is a gentler, minimally invasive approach for BPH treatment.
- It is done in an outpatient setting, allowing patients to go home that same day.
- PAE has a lower risk of sexual dysfunction or urinary incontinence than conventional surgical techniques.
- Patients recover faster and are able to resume their daily routine much sooner than post-surgery.
- Men who cannot have surgery or do not want to have surgery will benefit safely from PAE.
Ideal Candidate for Prostatic Artery Embolisation
- Moderate to Severe BPH Symptoms: Men who experience urinary urgency, weak stream, frequency, straining or a feeling of incomplete emptying of the bladder.
- Need a less invasive treatment option: Those patients who would rather not take a surgical intervention with general anaesthesia as their first treatment choice.
- Who cannot undergo surgery: Men with cardiac problems, renal failure, bleeding disorders, or who are very old opt for the safer method of PAE.
- Large prostate glands: Ideal for prostates larger than 80-100 grams that may not respond to surgical treatment options.
- Sexual function protection: Males concerned most with erectile function or ejaculation consider that PAE is safer than standard surgery.
- Repeated episodes of urinary retention: Reduces the size of the prostate to relieve repeated episodes of bladder closure.
- Shorter recovery time: PAE allows patients return to their normal activities in a few days.
