Prostate Embolization
What Is
Prostate Embolization?
Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) is a minimally invasive procedure designed to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a common condition where the prostate enlarges and causes urinary issues in men. At Fox Vein & Laser Experts, we use advanced imaging technology to guide small particles into the arteries that supply blood to the prostate, reducing its size and relieving symptoms like frequent urination, weak flow, and difficulty emptying the bladder.
Why Choose
Prostate Embolization?
Prostate embolization offers an effective alternative to more invasive procedures like surgery. It provides relief without the need for major surgery, long hospital stays, or extended recovery times. For men who want to avoid the risks and side effects of surgical interventions, this technique is an ideal solution. At Fox Vein & Laser Experts, Dr. Susan Fox and her team use cutting-edge technology to perform this procedure with precision, helping patients regain their quality of life.
Am I a
Good Candidate?
Men with moderate to severe symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) are excellent candidates for prostate embolization, especially if traditional medications have failed or if they want to avoid surgery. Ideal candidates include individuals who experience frequent nighttime urination, incomplete bladder emptying, or weak urine flow due to an enlarged prostate. During your consultation at Fox Vein & Laser Experts, our experienced team will assess your condition and medical history to determine if prostate embolization is the right treatment for you.

You may experience mild side effects such as pelvic pain, frequent urination, or discomfort for a few days after the procedure, but these typically subside quickly.
