Rezūm is a Non-Surgical Treatment for BPH
A treatment that uses the natural energy stored in water vapor or steam to eliminate excess prostate tissue which compresses the urethra.
How It Works
Rezūm Water Vapor Therapy is a non-surgical treatment for an enlarged prostate (BPH). It uses steam to remove excess prostate tissue that’s pressing on your urethra and causing symptoms.
The procedure is performed in your doctor’s office or at an outpatient center and typically requires just one visit. During the treatment, steam is delivered to the prostate in brief bursts. This causes the excess tissue to shrink gradually, allowing your symptoms to improve as your body naturally heals. Most patients experience relief within two weeks, with full benefits appearing around three months.
When This Treatment is Appropriate
Rezūm treatment is suitable for men with mild to moderate benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) symptoms, such as a weak stream, frequent urination, or difficulty starting urination. It is an option for those who are unhappy with medication, want to avoid side effects, or prefer a less invasive alternative to surgery.
Benefits of Rezūm
Some benefits of this treatment include:
- Minimally invasive treatment: no incisions or general anesthesia required
- Typically performed as an outpatient procedure
- Treatment takes about 10–15 minutes
- Most patients resume normal activities within a few days
