A Minimally Invasive Solution for Enlarged Prostate in Central Ohio

By age 60, nearly half of men experience an enlarged prostate. By age 85, that number rises to nearly 90%. This common condition—known medically as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)—can significantly impact quality of life, causing urinary symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and disrupted sleep.

Fortunately, men in Central Ohio now have access to a leading-edge, minimally invasive treatment option that can effectively address these symptoms without traditional surgery.

What Is Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE)?

Dr. Jack Ogilvy, an interventional radiologist with Central Ohio Urology Group, specializes in a procedure called prostate artery embolization (PAE). This innovative treatment is designed to shrink the prostate and relieve urinary symptoms associated with BPH.

As men age, the prostate naturally enlarges, which can press against the urethra and interfere with normal urinary flow. Prostate artery embolization works by reducing blood flow to the prostate, causing it to gradually shrink and relieve pressure.
