AIIMS Bhopal Introduces PAE Technique for Enlarged Prostate
AIIMS Bhopal is now using a new method called PAE to help men with enlarged prostates.
The prostate is a gland that can grow too big and cause problems.
PAE shrinks the prostate without surgery.
Doctors make a tiny hole in the wrist or groin to get to the prostate's blood vessels.
They block these vessels, which makes the prostate shrink.
Patients often go home the same day and avoid big cuts and strong medicine.
This method is good for those who can't have surgery and usually doesn't cause problems with sex.
AIIMS Bhopal has introduced Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE).
PAE treats Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH), or enlarged prostate.
The procedure reduces prostate size without surgery.
PAE is minimally invasive, using a pinhole puncture.
Patients can often go home the same day.
