50% of men aged 51-60 and up to 90% of those over 80 suffers from BPH: Says Dr. Rochan pant

An enlarged prostate, or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), affects approximately 50% of men aged 51-60 and up to 90% of those over 80. This condition occurs when the prostate grows larger, pressing against the bladder and urethra, which leads to urinary difficulties. Traditionally treated with surgery, prostate care is now being revolutionized by minimally invasive solutions like Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE). This advanced approach offers a safer, more effective alternative, eliminating the need for major surgery and significantly reducing recovery time. Dr. Rochan Pant, Interventional Radiologist, Director and Co-Founder of C3 Medicare, stated, “Patients with prostate symptoms are older, and often have many other illnesses. They are justifiably worried about how the treatment may cause pain, or complications, especially because many have heart conditions or other chronic ailments. My patients are delighted with how simple, pain free, and effective PAE is. I tell them “We will treat your prostate while keeping you fully clothed and without the need for a urinary catheter, and they are very happy to find out it is completely true! They come back to us and call us to tell us how good they are feeling about choosing embolization over surgery, and how they are free of the “terror of the washroom” after undergoing this procedure.” A healthy diet with fruits and vegetables, along with regular exercise and managing cholesterol, blood pressure, and sugar, supports prostate health. For enlarged prostate issues, consult your doctor about minimally invasive options like Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) for safer, quicker recovery and improved quality of life.
