Prostate artery embolization (PAE) is revolutionizing the way benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is treated, offering men a minimally invasive alternative to surgery and long-term medication. Despite its proven effectiveness and growing adoption, many men hesitate to explore this innovative option due to lingering myths and misconceptions.
However, we know this can’t be true for all patients and diagnoses. But…. this could especially ring true for men dealing with prostate issues and women dealing with uterine fibroids. Traditional surgeries, while effective, often come with significant risks, long recovery times, and a range of side effects. This is where non-invasive options like Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) and Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) come into play, offering patients a safer, less intrusive alternative with numerous benefits.
