What Causes an Enlarged Prostate/Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia?
The exact cause of an enlarged prostate/benign prostatic hyperplasia, a noncancerous condition, is unknown but thought to be associated with hormonal changes. The prostate cells multiply causing the tube from the bladder(urethra) to be compressed. This causes an increase of pressure needed to urinate so the bladder muscle becomes enlarged (hypertrophy). Over time this causes an array of urination problems.

Besides our careful history and physical exam, the team at Imaging & Interventional Specialists may obtain imaging studies such as MRIs to aid with accurate diagnoses and to help develop your treatment plan.

A small needle is used to access your arteries and X-rays guide miniaturized equipment to the prostate artery responsible for feeding your enlarged prostate. Then tiny particles are selectively injected to slow blood flow to prostate. This starves your enlarged prostate of nutrients so it shrinks
