Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) is a minimally invasive treatment that helps reduce urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate without major surgery or lengthy recovery. With support from Midwest Institute for Non-Surgical Therapy, you can benefit from a gentle, targeted approach that shrinks the prostate and improves urinary flow. As part of your overall wellness journey, you may also find value in exploring related aspects of your personal care that help support your comfort and quality of life.
PAE works by decreasing blood supply to the prostate, which allows the gland to gradually shrink and relieve pressure on the urethra. This technique offers many men meaningful symptom relief while preserving sexual function and reducing the risks associated with traditional surgical procedures.
During PAE, a very small catheter is inserted into an artery—often in the wrist or groin—and guided toward the arteries supplying the prostate. Tiny particles are then released to gently block targeted blood flow.
