I am 73 years male with symptoms of bph for the last 10 years. On tab. Urimax 400 mcg per day. Last psa done 2 months ago was 3 ng and prostate volume 50 cc. Mild symptoms only. Can I get the prostate artery embolization at chennai? Is it curable with this intervention? Can you refer to a good interventional radiologist? Thanks in advance.

Hello Mr Reddy, prostatic artery embolization is still largely investigational, some centres are doing it, but no one has long term data of the safety and efficacy of the procedure, hence usually Doctors recommend it for the people who are unfit for surgery. I suggest that You go for Endoscopic surgery for prostate TURP.
