New prostate therapy recommended on NHS A new treatment for non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate, a very common condition in older men, has been recommended for use by the NHS.
It's called prostate artery embolisation. And it blocks some of the blood supply to the prostate using tiny synthetic beads, causing the troublesome tissue to shrink and die.
Officials say there is good evidence that the non-invasive treatment works.
And it can spare men surgery and side-effects, such as impotence. BBC News
