A vascular centre in Memphis is now offering minimally invasive BPH treatment. What options were you told about when you were diagnosed?
Bringing this to the community because I think it speaks to something a lot of people here have experienced.
A local news report from Memphis covered a minimally invasive BPH treatment now being offered at a vascular centre there — likely prostate artery embolisation (PAE), an interventional radiology procedure that treats an enlarged prostate without traditional surgery.
The reason I find this worth sharing: most men with BPH aren't told about this option. They're told about alpha blockers, 5-alpha reductase inhibitors, and eventually a TURP or similar surgical procedure. What tends to fall out of the conversation is the growing landscape of minimally invasive options — often available at centres that aren't even urology practices.
The access gap is real. But so is the information gap.
For those in this community who've navigated BPH treatment decisions: what options were you told about? And — importantly — what weren't you told about until you went looking yourself? I'm curious whether people found the care pathway informative, or whether they had to push to get the full picture.

Prostate awareness for men and women. The prostate does not belong in the shadows with no understanding. Awareness is the key.
