Minimally invasive treatment for selected male health conditions
Interventional radiology provides minimally invasive treatment options for certain conditions affecting men's health. Using image guidance and catheter-based techniques, selected problems can be treated without conventional open surgery.
Dr. Yugal Goyal provides men's health interventions in Siliguri, including Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) for selected cases of enlarged prostate and Varicocele Embolization for varicocele-related concerns.
An enlarged prostate, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), can cause symptoms such as frequent urination, difficulty starting urination, weak urine flow and incomplete emptying of the bladder.
Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) is a minimally invasive procedure that reduces blood flow to the prostate. A small catheter is guided through the blood vessels to the arteries supplying the prostate, where tiny embolization particles are delivered.
Reducing the blood supply can help decrease prostate volume and may improve urinary symptoms in appropriately selected patients.
A varicocele is an enlargement of veins within the scrotum. It may cause discomfort, heaviness or other symptoms and can be associated with fertility concerns in some men.
Varicocele Embolization is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a catheter to reach the affected veins and block abnormal blood flow. This redirects blood through healthier veins.
The procedure may be considered when treatment is appropriate based on symptoms, examination, imaging and fertility-related concerns.
Not every patient with an enlarged prostate or varicocele requires an interventional procedure. The appropriate treatment depends on the diagnosis, symptoms, imaging findings, medical history and individual treatment goals.
A detailed assessment helps determine whether an image-guided approach is suitable and which treatment may be appropriate.
Prostate Artery Embolization is a minimally invasive procedure that reduces blood flow to the prostate and may help improve urinary symptoms associated with an enlarged prostate in selected patients.
Yes, selected patients with BPH may be considered for minimally invasive treatments such as PAE. Suitability depends on the individual's condition and assessment.
A varicocele is an enlargement of veins within the scrotum. It may cause discomfort and can be associated with fertility problems in some men.
Varicocele embolization is a catheter-based procedure that blocks abnormal veins responsible for the varicocele, redirecting blood flow through healthier veins.
It may be considered in selected men where a varicocele is associated with fertility concerns. A proper evaluation is needed to determine whether treatment may be beneficial.
