PATIENT INFORMATION
MEN’S HEALTH
Interventional radiology in men's health encompasses minimally invasive procedures aimed at diagnosing and treating conditions such as varicoceles, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and male infertility. These techniques provide effective alternatives to surgery, often resulting in reduced risk, quicker recovery times, and improved outcomes.
PROSTATE ARTERY EMBOLIZATION
Prostate artery embolization (PAE) is a minimally invasive procedure that treats benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) by blocking blood flow to the prostate, leading to shrinkage of the gland and relief from urinary symptoms.
VARICOCOELE EMBOLIZATION
Varicocele embolization is a minimally invasive procedure to treat varicoceles by blocking the abnormal veins in the scrotum, which can improve fertility and alleviate associated symptoms.
