Prostatism
Endovascular procedure for
prostatism
Intravascular surgery to reduce the size of the prostate is very effective for those who continue to have symptoms of thinning urine,
frequent urge to urinate, difficulty in holding urine,
and urine clogging despite drug treatment for more than 6 months.

Features of Prostatism procedure
Since the procedure is performed with only local anesthesia, quick recovery and discharge is possible on the procedure day.
Little risk of bleeding and complications due to the local incision.
By performing an enlarged prostate procedure, drug treatment can be ended or significantly reduced.
The discomfort or risk of intermittent and repetitive orthostatic hypotension that can be caused by medication can be significantly reduced or eliminated.
For those who develop symptoms of decreased sexuyal desire or impotence with drug treatment, symptoms may improve significantly by reducing the dose or ending drug treatment after an endovascular procedure.
Little possibility of sexual dysfunction such as urinary incontinence, impotence, and retrograde ejaculation that may occur after surgery.
Precautions of prostatism procedure
Prostatism occurs with aging, and may recur after an endovascular procedure and a second procedure may be required.
Complete blockage of the abdominal aorta and the origins of blood vessels in both legs could make the procedure impossible or difficult.
