At Aster MIMS Calicut, Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) offers men a safe, minimally invasive treatment for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) the non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate that can affect urination and quality of life. PAE provides an alternative to surgery or long-term medication, helping patients regain comfort and confidence.
The procedure involves inserting a tiny catheter into the arteries that supply the prostate. Using advanced imaging, our interventional radiologists deliver microscopic particles to block blood flow selectively to the enlarged tissue, causing it to shrink gradually.
Patients experience reduced urinary frequency, stronger flow, and better bladder emptying — often within weeks.
PAE can be performed under local anesthesia, requires no incision, and has minimal risk of complications such as incontinence or sexual dysfunction. Patients can resume normal activities and work next day onwards .
At Aster MIMS, our specialists ensure precise execution, continuous monitoring, and personalised aftercare, supported by state-of-the-art imaging facilities.
