FAQs
- What is Prostate Artery Embolisation (PAE)?
PAE is a non-surgical treatment for BPH. It works by blocking blood flow to the prostate to reduce its size and alleviate symptoms.
- How long does the PAE procedure take?
Typically, the PAE procedure takes about 2 hours to complete and is performed on an outpatient basis.
- Is PAE painful?
Patients may feel a slight pinch during the catheter insertion, but the procedure itself is pain-free, with local anaesthesia ensuring comfort throughout.
- What is the recovery time for PAE?
Most patients can resume normal activities within a day or two post-procedure, with symptom improvement often noticed within a few weeks.
- Are there any side effects of PAE?
Side effects are generally minimal but can include temporary pelvic discomfort, mild urinary symptoms, or short-lived hematuria (blood in urine).
