Rezūm Therapy treats the source of BPH — your enlarged prostate. This short, in-office
procedure uses the natural energy stored in a few drops of water to shrink
the prostate so urine can flow freely. There are no incisions no general
anesthesia, and most patients return to regular activities within a few
days.* And, it preserves sexual function.1,2
How does Rezūm Water Vapor Therapy work?
Rezūm Water Vapor Therapy is a non-surgical treatment that uses the natural
energy stored in water vapor, or steam, to remove excess prostate tissue
that is pressing on the urethra.
During each 9-second treatment, sterile water vapor is released throughout
the targeted prostate tissue. When the steam contacts the prostate tissue,
all the stored energy is released into the tissue. Your doctor will determine
the amount of treatments you need, based on the size of your prostate.
Over time, your body’s natural healing response absorbs the treated
tissue, shrinking the prostate. With the extra tissue removed, the urethra
opens, reducing BPH symptoms.
Most patients begin to experience symptom relief in as soon as two weeks,
and maximum benefit may occur within three months.1,2 Patient responses can and do vary.
