During Prostate Artery Embolisation (PAE), microscopic particles are used to block the blood supply feeding the enlarged prostate. Once this blood flow is reduced, the prostate begins a gradual process of shrinkage over the following weeks and months. As the tissue decreases in size, pressure on the urethra is relieved, allowing urine to flow more freely. This leads to a progressive improvement in symptoms such as frequent urination, weak stream, and interrupted sleep due to nighttime urination.
