LOOK BEYOND SURGERY AND DISCOVER PAE.

A highly effective, minimally invasive procedure, prostate artery embolization (PAE) is clinically shown to reduce the major symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and is done through a tiny incision about the size of a pin head in your wrist or upper thigh area.

PAE and sexual function.

When researching and reviewing alternatives to surgical procedures and other BPH treatment options available, it’s important to understand how different treatments can affect you and your lifestyle. If preserving your sexual function is important to you, PAE may be a viable option for you.
PAE effectively alleviates lower urinary tract symptoms, while having little to no effect on your ability to have an erection. Studies have shown it to improve sexual function by 34 percent1 within the first month. PAE also doesn’t carry as high a risk of complications as traditional treatments, such as urinary incontinence, impotence and retrograde ejaculation.
If you have any concerns about PAE and preserving your sexual function, find an Interventional Radiologist near you to discuss your specific situation, and determine which treatment option is best for you.
