What is it for?
Treatment that can provide relief for lower urinary tract symptoms caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia
Treatment overview
The prostate often enlarges with increasing age. As it grows it can press on the urethra, blocking the flow of urine from the bladder.
This may cause bacteria to grow and develop into a lower urinary tract infection.
Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) symptoms can occur in up to 30% of men older than 65 years, with the most common cause of problems being BPH, or a non-cancerous enlarged prostate.
To assess your suitability for treatment, a thorough medical examination is carried out by world-renowned Urologist, Professor Proka Dasgupta.
Prostate artery embolisation is performed by Consultant Endovascular Radiologist, Dr Jocelyn Brookes.
The procedure involves blocking the arteries that supply blood to the prostate, causing it to shrink.
