Treatment options
Advanced, minimally invasive care for Seattle-area men, provided from our Federal Way clinic
Men in Seattle and across Puget Sound deserve clear answers and treatment options when symptoms involving urination, scrotal discomfort, or hemorrhoids interfere with work, sleep, relationships, or everyday life. Sound Vascular & Vein provides specialized vascular and interventional care for men seeking minimally invasive options for enlarged prostate (BPH), varicocele, and symptomatic hemorrhoids. Our team sees Seattle-area patients at our Federal Way clinic and focuses on image-guided outpatient procedures designed to avoid extensive surgery when an individual evaluation shows that an approach is appropriate.
Personalized men's health care for Seattle-area patients
The right treatment begins with an accurate diagnosis and a conversation about your symptoms, history, goals, and options. For patients who may be candidates, Sound Vascular offers image-guided procedures that reach targeted blood vessels through a small access site.
Enlarged Prostate / BPH
Frequent urination, urgency, weak urine stream, difficulty urinating, dribbling, or a feeling of incomplete emptying.
Varicocele
Testicular pain, scrotal swelling or a lump, size changes, or fertility concerns such as a low sperm count.
Symptomatic Hemorrhoids
Rectal pain, bleeding, swelling, itching, or a feeling of incomplete evacuation.
Enlarged Prostate · PAE near Seattle
Enlarged prostate (BPH) treatment and PAE
Benign prostatic hyperplasia — BPH, or an enlarged prostate — is a noncancerous enlargement of the prostate. As it grows, it can affect urinary function and contribute to frequent urination, nighttime awakenings, urgency, a weak stream, or difficulty fully emptying the bladder. These symptoms can have many causes, so a professional evaluation matters before treatment is chosen.
For eligible patients, Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) is a minimally invasive treatment for urinary symptoms of BPH. An interventional radiologist uses imaging guidance to place a small catheter into the arteries supplying the prostate, then delivers small particles to reduce blood flow to targeted areas — aiming to reduce prostate volume and improve symptoms over time.
Sound Vascular describes PAE as an outpatient procedure with local anesthesia and conscious sedation, typically taking one to two hours, though each patient’s visit and recovery plan differ. A consultation determines whether PAE is appropriate and reviews benefits, alternatives, risks, recovery, and insurance coverage.
Varicocele · Seattle & Puget Sound
Varicocele treatment for men
A varicocele is an enlargement of veins within the scrotum. It may cause testicular pain, swelling, or a noticeable lump, and it can be associated with changes in sperm quality or quantity. Not every varicocele needs treatment, but a clinical assessment can help determine whether symptoms, fertility concerns, or other factors warrant care.
Symptomatic Hemorrhoids
Minimally invasive hemorrhoid treatment
Hemorrhoids can cause rectal pain, bleeding, swelling, itching, and discomfort. Because rectal bleeding can have causes other than hemorrhoids, it should be evaluated by an appropriate medical professional rather than assumed to be caused by hemorrhoids.
For appropriately evaluated patients with symptomatic internal hemorrhoids, Hemorrhoid Embolization may be a minimally invasive option. The procedure uses a catheter to reduce blood flow to the swollen hemorrhoidal vessels, aiming to shrink the tissue and relieve symptoms — performed as an outpatient treatment through a small access site in the wrist or groin. Your provider can explain whether this approach, another treatment, or referral to a different specialty fits your needs.
