If you’re dealing with the frustrating symptoms of an enlarged prostate (BPH), but want to avoid surgery or implants, Prostatic Artery Embolization (PAE) at Urology Partners of North Texas (UPNT) offers a proven, non-surgical alternative.
Performed by Dr. Matthew Schwenke, a board-certified interventional radiologist with over 700 successful PAE procedures, this outpatient treatment provides long-lasting symptom relief with minimal recovery time and a low risk of side effects.
PAE is a minimally invasive procedure that shrinks the prostate by reducing its blood supply. Using advanced imaging, a tiny catheter is inserted through the wrist or groin to deliver microscopic particles into the arteries feeding the prostate. This reduces blood flow and causes the prostate to gradually shrink, relieving pressure on the urethra.
Dr. Schwenke is a board-certified, fellowship-trained interventional radiologist and a leader in minimally invasive men’s health procedures. With over 700 PAE procedures performed, he brings unmatched expertise and patient-centered care to every case.
