Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), or an enlarged prostate, is a common condition as men age. While not cancerous, it can significantly affect quality of life. Symptoms often develop gradually and may include frequent urination, especially at night, difficulty starting or stopping urination, a weak urine stream, and a feeling of incomplete bladder emptying.

When medications no longer provide relief, many men assume surgery is the next step. However, Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) is another minimally invasive option. PAE works by reducing blood flow to the enlarged prostate, causing it to shrink and easing urinary symptoms without major surgery.

If you’ve been diagnosed with uterine fibroids, you may have been told that surgery, like a hysterectomy or myomectomy, is your only option. Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) offers a less invasive, but still effective alternative.

UFE treats fibroids by blocking their blood supply, causing them to shrink, without removing the uterus.

Benefits of UFE compared to more invasive treatments:
- No major abdominal surgery
- No removal of the uterus
- Shorter recovery time
- Less pain and scarring
- Typically an outpatient procedure

For many women, UFE provides significant symptom relief from heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure, while preserving the uterus and avoiding a long recovery.

If chronic knee pain from osteoarthritis has you thinking about knee replacement, but you’re not ready for surgery, Genicular Artery Embolization (G*E) may be an alternative worth considering.

G*E is a minimally invasive procedure that targets the small arteries contributing to inflammation in the knee. By reducing blood flow to these inflamed areas, G*E can decrease pain and improve function, without replacing the joint.

Why patients consider G*E:
- No large incisions or joint removal
- Outpatient procedure
- Shorter recovery time than surgery
- Preserves your natural knee

For patients looking to delay or avoid knee replacement, G*E offers a less invasive path to pain relief. Call 713-913-0667 to learn more

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) occurs when narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the legs. Symptoms can develop gradually—and are often mistaken for normal aging.

Watch for:
- Leg pain or cramping when walking that improves with rest
- Numbness or weakness in the legs
- Cold feet or toes
- Slow-healing wounds on the legs or feet
- Shiny skin or hair loss on the legs
- Pain in the feet at rest (in more advanced cases)

If you notice these symptoms, don’t ignore them. Early evaluation and treatment can improve circulation and reduce the risk of serious complications.

Y90 radioembolization is a targeted treatment that delivers radiation directly to liver tumors using tiny radioactive beads placed through the liver’s blood vessels. This minimally invasive approach treats tumors from the inside while sparing healthy liver tissue, making it an option for patients who aren't candidates for surgery.

For liver-dominant metastatic cancer, Y90 can help control tumors, relieve symptoms, and support ongoing cancer care.

03/12/2026

Regenerative injection therapy is a treatment designed to help the body heal itself by repairing damaged or inflamed tissues rather than just masking pain.

Using image guidance, targeted injections, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or other regenerative solutions, are delivered directly to injured joints, tendons, ligaments, or soft tissue. These injections stimulate the body’s natural healing response, helping reduce inflammation, strengthen tissue, and improve function over time.

Regenerative injection therapy is commonly used for chronic pain, arthritis, tendon injuries, and joint instability. It offers a minimally invasive option for patients seeking pain relief without surgery or long-term medication.

By addressing the source of pain, regenerative injection therapy focuses on recovery, not just symptom control.

03/05/2026

Venous ablation is a minimally invasive treatment used to relieve symptoms caused by varicose veins and venous insufficiency. These conditions occur when faulty vein valves allow blood to pool in the legs, leading to pain, swelling, heaviness, and visible veins.

Using image guidance, heat or medical adhesive is applied inside the affected vein to close it off, allowing blood to reroute through healthier veins. Over time, symptoms improve and the treated vein is naturally absorbed by the body.

Venous ablation is performed outpatient, requires little downtime, and can significantly improve both comfort and appearance for patients with chronic vein symptoms.

PCS occurs when veins in the pelvis become enlarged and congested, leading to dull, aching pain, heaviness, or pressure—often worse at the end of the day, after standing, or during/after periods. Other symptoms can include swelling, varicose veins in the thighs or buttocks, and discomfort during intimacy.

If pelvic pain is affecting your daily life, contact Alate Health to learn about evaluation and minimally invasive treatment options that can help restore comfort and quality of life. (713) 913-0667

These small, twisted veins often appear on the legs or face and may cause aching, heaviness, swelling, or itching. While many people seek treatment for cosmetic reasons, it’s important to watch for symptoms like pain, significant swelling, skin discoloration, or sores, which could indicate an underlying vein condition.

Your heart works hard for you every single day—this month is a reminder to show it some love. Small steps like staying active, eating heart-healthy foods, managing stress, and knowing your risk factors can make a meaningful difference over time.

Heart disease doesn't always come with obvious warning signs, which is why awareness and prevention matter. Talk with your healthcare provider about your heart health and take proactive steps toward a stronger, healthier future.
