Prostatic Artery Embolization

Your Urologist probably won’t recommend it because Urologists don’t perform the procedure.

Interventional Radiologists use a microcatheter to deposit beads or glue in the arteries supplying your prostate. The prostate shrinks over a period of a few weeks to six months and relieves your symptoms.

I’ve heard of that or something similar that they do in Europe where they cauterize or block the blood flow to your prostate.
