Rezum Water Vapor Therapy
Rezum Water Vapor Therapy is an advanced, minimally invasive treatment for an enlarged prostate, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This innovative procedure uses the natural energy stored in water vapor (steam) to reduce excess prostate tissue that is blocking urine flow.
It is a safe and effective alternative to traditional surgical procedures, offering long-lasting relief from urinary symptoms without the need for major surgery.
How Rezum Therapy Works
- Uses sterile water vapor (steam) to target enlarged prostate tissue
- Steam is delivered directly into the prostate through a small device
- The heat from the vapor destroys excess tissue cells
- Over time, the body naturally absorbs the treated tissue
- This relieves pressure on the urethra and improves urine flow
