Minimally Invasive Treatment Options
Minimally invasive treatments, such as prostatic artery embolization (PAE), are viable options for a significant majority of patients suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and lower urinary tract symptoms. PAE is particularly effective, with approximately 80 to 85 percent of patients benefiting from the procedure. However, it's essential for individuals to conduct thorough research and consult with their healthcare providers to determine the best treatment approach for their specific condition, as not all patients are suitable candidates for PAE. Ultimately, collaboration with knowledgeable physicians ensures that patients make informed decisions regarding their health.
