Prostatic artery embolization (PAE) is a promising non-surgical treatment for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Clinically shown to reduce BPH symptoms and improve quality of life, PAE has become a viable alternative to surgical procedures, with minimal risk of urinary incontinence or sexual dysfunction such as impotence and retrograde ejaculation. Learn more about this procedure via these two ThinkEducation PAE webinars.
