Enlarged Prostate Treatmentin Sheboygan
Non-Surgical Enlarged Prostate Treatment with PAE
Struggling with frequent urination, a weak stream, or the frustration of limited enlarged prostate treatment options? You deserve better than accepting these disruptive symptoms or facing major surgery. Third Coast Vascular in Sheboygan, WI offers Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) – an innovative, image-guided treatment that resolves urinary symptoms while preserving sexual function.
Modern Medicine's Answer to BPH
For years, men with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) often faced a choice: live with worsening urinary problems or undergo invasive surgery like TURP, with its significant risks and recovery time. PAE changes everything. This breakthrough procedure uses precision imaging to deliver targeted treatment directly to the prostate, causing it to shrink naturally without affecting surrounding tissue.
- 80-90% of men achieve lasting symptom relief
- Complete treatment in under two hours
- Preserve sexual function with minimal risk
- Walk out the same day you’re treated
- Resume normal life within one week
Understanding Prostate Artery Embolization
The Science Behind PAE
PAE works by blocking the blood supply that allows the prostate to grow. Our specialist guides a hair-thin catheter, typically through your wrist or groin, to reach the prostatic arteries. Tiny, harmless particles are then released to seal off these vessels, starving the excess prostate tissue of nutrients. Over the following weeks and months, the prostate shrinks, relieving pressure on the urethra while healthy tissues remain completely unharmed.
BPH Symptoms PAE Resolves
- Frequent or urgent need to urinate
- Waking up multiple times at night to urinate (nocturia)
- Difficulty starting urination or a weak, interrupted stream
- Straining to urinate
- Sensation that your bladder is never fully empty

Your Path To Urinary Relief
Unlike temporary solutions that only manage symptoms, PAE addresses the root problem by shrinking the prostate itself. Most men notice a dramatic improvement in their urine stream and a reduction in urgency within the first month, with continued enhancement as the prostate continues to shrink. This comprehensive approach provides lasting relief and a return to a more comfortable and predictable life.

PAE Questions and Expert Answers
Do major medical organizations endorse Prostate Artery Embolization?
Absolutely. The Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) recognizes PAE as a safe and effective treatment for BPH. Major clinical studies published in leading medical journals have confirmed its benefits, and it is a standard-of-care alternative to surgery for appropriate candidates.
What success rates can I expect from PAE treatment?
Clinical studies show that 80-90% of men experience a significant and lasting reduction in their BPH symptoms following PAE. Patients report dramatic improvements in their International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and overall quality of life.
How will PAE impact my sexual function?
PAE has a significant advantage over traditional surgery in this regard. The procedure has a very low risk of causing sexual side effects, such as erectile dysfunction or retrograde ejaculation. Studies confirm that PAE preserves sexual function.
What does PAE recovery involve?
Recovery is minimal. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, and most men return to normal, non-strenuous activities within a day or two. Some men experience mild, temporary symptoms like pelvic discomfort or increased urinary frequency for a few days, which are easily managed.
How does PAE compare with other BPH treatments like TURP?
Compared to TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate), PAE offers similar symptom improvement but with a significantly lower risk of major complications and a much faster recovery. While TURP may achieve a greater reduction in prostate size, PAE provides excellent symptom relief without the hospital stay and sexual side effects associated with surgery.
Will insurance cover my PAE treatment?
PAE is covered by Medicare and most major private insurance plans as a treatment for BPH. Our team will work with you to verify your benefits and provide a clear understanding of your coverage before your consultation.
