North Star Prostate Center

First to perform Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) in the USA.
Pioneers in minimally invasive BPH care.
No surgery, less downtime.

Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) works differently:
🩸 Tiny particles are delivered through the prostate’s blood supply
⬇️ Blood flow to the enlarged tissue is reduced
📉 The prostate gradually shrinks
➡️ Urinary symptoms may improve

Drinking less water isn’t a treatment for BPH.
It might seem logical, but it can backfire.
🔥 Concentrated urine can irritate the bladder
🚽 That irritation may increase urgency and frequency
The goal isn’t to dehydrate yourself. Stay adequately hydrated during the day.

Better sleep starts before bedtime. 🌙
If BPH has you waking up at night:
• 💧 Limit fluids 2–3 hours before bed
• ☕ Skip caffeine in the evening
• 🚶 Stay active during the day
Small habits can make a big difference.

Activities that may help support BPH symptoms:
🚶‍���️ Take a daily walk or stay physically active.
🧘 Practice pelvic floor (Kegel) exercises to strengthen bladder control.
⚖️ Maintain a healthy weight through regular movement and balanced habits.

A high PSA result doesn’t automatically mean cancer.
It can be caused by:
• Enlarged prostate
• Inflammation
• Other prostate conditions

Prostate treatment doesn't always mean surgery.

PAE uses a tiny catheter and an access point smaller than 3 mm to treat the prostate without a large incision.

🚹 PAE and TURP both treat enlarged prostate symptoms, but the experience can look very different.

PAE: Minimally invasive, no major surgery, same-day discharge, quicker recovery.

TURP: Surgical procedure, hospital stay, and longer recovery.

Worried about your sex life or fertility? Studies show PAE generally doesn’t impact erections or ejaculations. Over 30% of men even notice improved sexual function.

Wonderful work on bringing the PAE discussion to North Carolina, @bonesz! https://t.co/nb71RylEiJ

“It’s probably nothing.” Those words keep too many men from getting answers while symptoms slowly become daily life.

When sleep, peace of mind, and confidence are being affected, it’s worth paying attention.

1 in 2 men over age 50 experience symptoms of an enlarged prostate, yet many wait years before speaking up. Waking up multiple times a night, urgency, and weak flow become their “new normal.”

In December, Dave sadly lost his brother. Now he’s sharing his story to help other men understand their risk.

Not all prostate enlargement is cancer - but if you’re waking up at night, struggling to urinate, or noticing changes, it’s time to get checked. Don’t ignore the signs. #MensHealth #ProstateHealth #Enlargeprostate #HealthAwareness

[North Star Prostate Center @NorthStarIR]

Many men assume waking up multiple times at night to urinate is simply part of getting older.
In many cases, it’s actually related to benign prostate enlargement (BPH).
It’s a very common condition, and one that now has several treatment options.
