Aftercare after the intervention
Aftercare can be divided into two phases. In the first phase, immediately after embolization, the focus is on pain therapy and anti-inflammatory measures in particular. For this purpose, you will be cared for on our ward. As a rule, patients can be discharged from inpatient care after two to three days. In the second phase, outpatient follow-up care follows. In the preparatory consultation, you have already been informed about "normal" complaints after prostate embolization, such as pressure pain, burning during urination or temporary blood in the urine or increased urinary retention. A slight increase in temperature can also be part of the so-called postembolization syndrome. Usually, the symptoms subside after one to two weeks. You should take the medications prescribed after discharge from inpatient treatment for the recommended period of time. In case of any complaints that seem unusual to you, you should contact us or your treating urologist. For this purpose, you can also reach us by telephone at our outpatient clinic.
