WHAT IS Prostatic Artery Embolization



 WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW 

  • PAE symptoms related to benign prostatic hyperplasia are present in about one in four men by age 55, and in half of 75-year-old men.
  • Treatment is only necessary if symptoms become bothersome.
  • The PAE procedure has a lower risk of urinary incontinence and sexual side effects (retrograde ejaculation or erectile dysfunction), when compared with more invasive surgical procedures such as a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).
