Although prostate adenoma is a benign, non-life-threatening condition that is not a risk factor for prostate cancer, its specific symptoms impair a man’s quality of social and sexual life, often forcing him to change his daily routine.
Ignored and untreated, this condition can lead to severe urological complications: urinary tract obstruction, acute urinary retention, urogenital infections at all levels and, ultimately, kidney failure.
An endovascular specialist can help you with your prostate problems, using a technique called prostate adenoma embolization. This is a safe, comfortable, minimally invasive therapeutic method, representing a modern alternative to urological surgery, used in the past as the only advanced treatment option.
While the traditional surgical technique for treating adenoma involves a period of preoperative preparation, being laborious, risky and often followed by disorders of sexual life, embolization is rapid, painless and involves a speedy recovery.
Embolization of the prostate adenoma is performed under radioscopic control and consists of the catheterization of the blood vessels irrigating the prostate. Without blood supply, the prostate is reduced in size in two to three weeks, ensuring a significant improvement in the patient’s life.
The operation does not require general anesthesia, it requires a short period of hospitalization and allows the rapid resumption (after two to three days) of normal social and professional activities. The ideal patient for embolization of prostate adenoma:> 50 years, with moderate or severe symptoms and a urinary flow not exceeding 12 ml/ s. However, the intervention can also be recommended to patients with mild symptoms, who have received drug treatment for at least 6 months, without significant results.
