An enlarged prostate, medically known as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), is a common condition affecting men, especially those above the age of 50. It occurs when the prostate gland increases in size and starts pressing against the urethra, causing problems in urination. If you’re searching for the best treatment for enlarged prostate, you’re likely experiencing symptoms like frequent urination, weak urine flow, incomplete bladder emptying, or nighttime urination. Thankfully, modern medicine offers a range of treatments—both non-invasive and minimally invasive—that can provide long-term relief.

At Indian Interventional Radiology, led by Dr. Pradeep Muley, we believe in minimally invasive, advanced treatments that bring faster relief, fewer side effects, and no scars. One such breakthrough method is Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE), a game-changer in treating enlarged prostate.

Common Symptoms of Enlarged Prostate

Men with enlarged prostate typically notice a gradual onset of symptoms, such as:

• Difficulty starting urination
• Weak or interrupted urine stream
• Frequent urge to urinate, especially at night (nocturia)
• A feeling that the bladder is not completely empty
• Urinary retention in severe cases

If these symptoms are affecting your daily life, it’s time to seek expert care from a specialist like Dr. Pradeep Muley, a leading interventional radiologist at Indian Interventional Radiology.

Treatment Options for Enlarged Prostate

The best treatment for an enlarged prostate depends on the severity of symptoms, prostate size, overall health, and patient preference. Here’s a breakdown of the most recommended treatments today:

1. Lifestyle Changes and Medication

For mild to moderate symptoms, lifestyle changes can help:

• Reducing caffeine and alcohol intake
• Avoiding evening fluids
• Timed voiding to control urination frequency

Medications include alpha-blockers (like tamsulosin) that relax prostate muscles and 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors (like finasteride) that shrink the gland. However, medications may have side effects such as dizziness or sexual dysfunction.

2. Minimally Invasive Treatments

Minimally invasive procedures have revolutionized BPH treatment by offering effective results with fewer risks and quicker recovery.

Prostatic Artery Embolization (PAE) – The Game-Changer

Performed by expert interventional radiologists like Dr. Pradeep Muley, PAE is a non-surgical procedure that involves inserting a catheter through the groin to block blood flow to specific areas of the prostate. This causes the gland to shrink naturally over time. Patients experience relief in urinary symptoms without any major cuts, stitches, or hospital stay.

Why Choose PAE?

Performed under local anesthesia

• Daycare procedure – go home the same day
• No risk of sexual dysfunction
• Excellent option for high-risk patients
• Quicker recovery compared to surgery

This technique is quickly becoming the best treatment for enlarged prostate worldwide, especially for men who wish to avoid surgery.

3. Surgical Procedures

In severe BPH cases or when minimally invasive treatments are not suitable, surgery may be considered.

Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP)

This traditional surgical method involves removing excess prostate tissue using a resectoscope inserted through the urethra. While effective, TURP may involve longer hospital stays and a higher risk of complications like bleeding and sexual dysfunction.

Why Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) is the Best Treatment for Enlarged Prostate

At Indian Interventional Radiology, we offer PAE, a modern, non-surgical treatment done by interventional radiologists like Dr. Pradeep Muley. It involves blocking the blood supply to the enlarged prostate, which shrinks it over time and relieves symptoms.

Benefits of PAE:

• No general anesthesia needed
• No hospital stay – done as a day-care procedure
• No cutting or surgical wounds
• Minimal side effects
• Faster recovery (back to normal activities in 2–3 days)
• Maintains sexual function (unlike some surgeries)

This makes PAE the preferred choice for men who want effective relief without the risks of surgery.

How is Prostate Artery Embolization Performed?

The procedure is done through a tiny puncture in the groin or wrist. A micro-catheter is guided to the arteries supplying the prostate. Small particles are injected to block blood flow. As a result, the prostate starts shrinking naturally, easing pressure on the urethra.

The entire procedure takes about 1–2 hours. You can go home the same day.

Real Patient Experience at Indian Interventional Radiology

Many of our patients who were suffering from severe BPH symptoms found lasting relief with PAE. One patient, 68 years old, said:

"I had tried medicines for two years but still woke up five times at night. After PAE with Dr. Pradeep Muley, I sleep peacefully through the night and have no side effects."

Is PAE Right for You?

You may be a good candidate for PAE if:

• You are above 50 and have moderate to severe urinary symptoms
• You want to avoid surgery and preserve sexual function
• Medicines are not working or causing side effects
• Your prostate size is 40cc or more

A consultation with Dr. Pradeep Muley at Indian Interventional Radiology will confirm if you're suitable.
