Treatment options for Enlarged Prostate (BPH)

The timeline for seeing results after PAE can vary depending on the individual patient and the severity of their BPH symptoms.

As the prostate gland shrinks, it can relieve the pressure on the urethra and improve urinary symptoms such as urinary incontinence, frequent urge to urinate, difficulty n emptying your bladder, etc.
