An enlarged prostate, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is a common condition that affects many men as they age. Although non-cancerous, it can have a significant impact on daily life by placing pressure on the bladder and urethra. Five common signs of an enlarged prostate include urinary urgency, difficulty starting urination, interrupted urine flow, urinary retention, and frequent waking during the night to urinate. Some men may also experience discomfort during urination or ejaculation. If these symptoms are affecting your quality of life, treatment options are available. Prostate Artery Embolisation (PAE) is a minimally invasive procedure that can help relieve symptoms by reducing the size of the prostate. To learn more about PAE, visit our website here.
