New Mexico Urology Services FAQs
What is Prostatic Artery Embolization (PAE) and how does it treat an enlarged prostate (BPH)?
Prostatic artery embolization (PAE) is a minimally invasive procedure for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or enlarged prostate. During PAE procedure, a catheter is inserted through a small puncture in the skin, typically in the groin or wrist, and guided to the arteries supplying the prostate. Tiny particles are then injected to block blood flow to specific areas of the prostate, leading to shrinkage of the gland and relief from urinary symptoms. This reduces pressure on the urinary tract, improving urine flow and reducing BPH symptoms like frequent urination, weak stream, and bladder control problems. PAE helps preserve surrounding male reproductive organs and does not affect prostate cancer screenings.
How does PAE differ from traditional prostate surgery?
PAE is performed through a catheter without major incisions, helping patients avoid general anesthesia and long hospital stays. Unlike surgical treatments such as transurethral resection, PAE shrinks the prostate by reducing blood supply, leading to faster recovery and lowering risks like erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence. We provide outpatient procedures for men with urological concerns across multiple locations in New Mexico.
Am I a good candidate for PAE if I have BPH symptoms?
PAE is recommended for men with BPH who want to avoid or cannot undergo prostate surgery. Candidates are evaluated based on symptoms, medical history, and prostate size.
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Have moderate to severe BPH symptoms
- Have an enlarged prostate that affects urine flow or bladder function
- Are at higher risk from traditional surgical treatments
- Want to reduce risks like erectile dysfunction or urinary incontinence
What are the benefits of choosing PAE over other BPH treatment options?
PAE is a safe alternative to surgery for managing BPH symptoms like frequent urination and weak urine flow. It is performed with targeted techniques to reduce prostate size and improve urinary health without tissue removal.
Benefits of PAE include:
- Quicker recovery and fewer complications
- Lower risk of incontinence and sexual function problems
- Avoidance of general anesthesia
- Suitable for patients with larger prostates or other health conditions
Will PAE improve my urine flow and relieve bladder control problems?
PAE reduces blood flow to the enlarged prostate, helping to shrink the gland over time. As the prostate shrinks, pressure on the urinary tract decreases, improving urine flow and reducing bladder control problems such as urgency, frequent urination, or incomplete emptying.
Many patients experience significant relief from BPH symptoms, with less nighttime urination and better bladder function. The procedure is tailored to each patient’s medical history, prostate size, and individual urinary health concerns.
What can I expect during the PAE procedure and will I need general anesthesia?
Prostate Artery Embolization procedure is performed by inserting a catheter through a small puncture in the groin or wrist. The catheter is guided to the arteries supplying the prostate, where small particles are used to reduce blood flow. General anesthesia is not required. Instead, IV medications are given to manage pain and anxiety while patients remain comfortable and awake.
Most patients describe the procedure as painless, with mild discomfort mostly from lying flat during the treatment. Our interventional radiologists are highly trained in advanced techniques to deliver quick relief without the need for significant cuts or stitches.
How long does it take to recover after undergoing PAE?
Most patients return to light activities within a few days and resume normal routines within a week. Mild pelvic discomfort or urinary symptoms may occur but typically resolve within 1–2 weeks. Follow-up evaluations are performed to monitor improvement in urine flow and other BPH symptoms, helping patients achieve better urinary health and address bladder control problems effectively.
Are there any risks or side effects I should know about before choosing PAE?
PAE is generally well-tolerated, but mild side effects like pelvic pain, low-grade fever, or temporary urinary discomfort can occur. Rare complications include infection, blood vessel injury, or unintentional blockage of nearby arteries. Patients are closely monitored to reduce risks and ensure positive outcomes, improving urinary tract health while minimizing complications like erectile dysfunction or incontinence linked to other treatment options.
