Uterine fibroids are quite common; up to 70-80% of women may develop them by age 50.

Fibroids can impact fertility by altering the shape of the uterus, blocking fallopian tubes, or interfering with implantation. However, many women with fibroids can still conceive.

During UFE, a catheter is inserted into a blood vessel (usually in the groin) and guided to the uterine arteries. Small particles are injected to block blood flow to the fibroids, causing them to shrink.

UFE is usually performed under conscious sedation, which keeps you relaxed but awake. Sometimes general anesthesia may be used.

Yes, age is not a primary contraindication, but overall health and specific conditions are considered.

At the age of 60, a normal prostate size is typically around 20-25 cubic centimeters (cc). However, it’s common for the prostate to enlarge with age due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). An enlarged prostate at this age may exceed this range, often reaching 40 cc or more.

Yes, a man can live with an enlarged prostate. Symptoms are manageable with lifestyle changes, medications, minimally invasive procedures, or surgery. Regular medical check-ups are essential for effective management.

हाँ, बढ़े हुए प्रोस्टेट (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, BPH) का साइज सामान्य हो जाता है लेकिन यह साइज पर निर्भर करता है जैसे अगर साइज बॉर्डरलाइन है तो वो ट्रीटमेंट के बाद नार्मल हो जायेगा लेकिन यदि साइज बहुत ज्यादा है तो साइज काम होने लगता है और लक्षणों में सुधार होता है और स्थिति को नियंत्रित किया जा सकता है। BPH उम्र के साथ होने वाली एक सामान्य स्थिति है, जो पुरुषों में मूत्र मार्ग में समस्याएं पैदा कर सकती है।

Exercise does not directly reduce prostate size, but regular physical activity can help manage symptoms of an enlarged prostate. It can improve overall health, balances hormones, reduce inflammation, and support weight management, which can indirectly benefit prostate health.

The effects of prostate artery embolization (PAE) can last several years. Many patients experience significant symptom relief for 1 to 4 years, with some having longer-lasting benefits. Regular follow-ups with an interventional radiologist or doctor are important to monitor symptoms and determine if further treatment is needed.

Prostatic artery embolization (PAE) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which is an enlargement of the prostate gland (enlarged prostate). PAE works by blocking the blood supply to specific areas of the prostate, leading to a reduction in its size over time.

Yes, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels often decrease after prostate artery embolization (PAE). This reduction indicates a decrease in prostate volume and improvement in symptoms. However, the extent of the PSA decrease varies among patients. Regular monitoring of PSA levels post-procedure is essential to assess the treatment’s effectiveness.

The success rate of prostate artery embolization (PAE) varies but is generally high. Studies show that approximately 80-90% of men experience significant symptom improvement and a reduction in prostate volume within the first year after the procedure. Long-term success rates remain favorable, though follow-up is necessary to monitor for any recurrence of symptoms.

Prostate artery embolization (PAE) is a relatively new and minimally invasive treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The success of PAE can be assessed in terms of symptom relief, reduction in prostate size, and long-term outcomes. Overall, PAE has shown promising results in clinical studies and practice. This treatment is absolutely safe and has no side effects, so its success rate is also higher than all other surgeries.

The prostate typically does not shrink by itself without medical intervention. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a progressive condition, and the prostate gland usually enlarges over time.

A prostate volume of 40 cc (cubic centimeters) is generally considered to be moderately enlarged. The normal prostate size in younger men is about 20-25 cc. However, prostate size can increase with age, and an increase to 40 cc is not uncommon in older men, especially those over the age of 50.

PAE is minimally invasive, involves a shorter recovery, and has fewer risks but less long-term data. Surgery (e.g., TURP) is more invasive, involves longer recovery and hospital stay, but is often used for severe cases with proven long-term results.

The safest prostate procedure for an enlarged prostate is Prostatic Artery Embolization (PAE) because its reduces prostate size by blocking blood flow to the prostate. Generally well-tolerated with a lower risk of side effects if we compare with most practised TURP procedure.

An enlarged prostate, medically known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), typically does not return to its original size completely. However, its symptoms can be managed effectively, and the condition can be controlled. BPH is a common condition as men ages, leading to urinary problems.

Prostate is a gland around a tube called urethra thats ejects urine out from the urinary bladder. Size of the prostate does increase with age and if it puts pressure on the urethra than leads to problem called lower urinary tract symptom.It means enlarged prostate is not symptomatic always.
