Patient's question:
Every time I go to the toilet, I feel it's a bit difficult to urinate. This has been happening for quite some time. Because the company has been quite busy recently, I haven't had time to go to the hospital to check it. I searched online and found that it might be a problem with the prostate. It can be treated with prostate artery embolization. I don't know what the side effects of prostate artery embolization are?Doctor's answer:
Prostate artery embolization surgery is currently performed relatively infrequently, and its side effects are not yet fully understood. The main side effects include skin damage and scar formation. This surgery is primarily clinically indicated for patients who have responded successfully to medication but still experience impaired quality of life and are not suitable for other minimally invasive treatment options. The prostate can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor during the treatment.
