Indianapolis, Indiana (Nov 07, 2021) - The prostate gland is a male organ that is present just below the bladder and is surrounded by a tube that brings the urine from the bladder, it is commonly known as a urethra. The prostate gland helps to produce fluid that helps in nourishment and transport of the sperms.

The prostate is prone to common issues enlargement and prostatic hyperplasia.  Enlargement of the prostate is common in older men.

It eventually results in urinary symptoms which include difficulty in starting and stopping incomplete emptying, and frequent urination. Majority of men above the age of 60 experience the symptoms due to enlarged prostate and it can turn worse with time.

There are several treatments for prostatic hyperplasia including surgery and medication. Valley Imaging Partners David Topper also recommends minimally invasive procedures like prostate artery remobilization for the treatment of such patients. The procedure is conducted with the help of a tiny tube known as a catheter. Very small particles are injected into the prostate arteries for decreasing the supply of blood. It helps in reducing the size and relieves the pressure on the urethra. It is highly effective in improving the symptoms of an enlarged prostate. Many patients get long-term relief from symptoms with minimal downtime.
