PAE and TURP for BPH - CVI Prostate Center

Comparing PAE and TURP for BPH is important for men seeking effective treatment for enlarged prostate symptoms. At CVI Prostate Center, we provide clear guidance on both procedures to help patients make the best choice. TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate) is the traditional gold-standard surgery that offers quick symptom relief but requires anesthesia, hospital stay, and carries higher risks of side effects. PAE (Prostatic Artery Embolization) is a minimally invasive alternative performed by interventional radiologists, offering shorter recovery time, fewer complications, and excellent outcomes for many patients. Both treatments improve urinary symptoms caused by Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), but differ in approach and recovery.
