Is transarterial embolization of the prostate dangerous?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling discomfort in my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. Is it dangerous to have an interventional thrombectomy for the prostatic artery embolism?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this surgery does carry certain risks, but most arthroscopic surgeries are minimally invasive. Therefore, it is generally better to fully recover after the surgery. It is recommended to monitor for pain or frequent urination during this period. Avoid spicy foods and keep an eye on your urination. Rest more during this time, and do not drink alcohol or engage in sexual activity too soon after the surgery.
