Water Vapour Therapy (Rezum): A Game-Changer for Enlarged Prostate Treatment

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), commonly known as enlarged prostate, is one of the most common urological conditions affecting men above the age of 50. It often leads to symptoms such as frequent urination, weak urine stream, incomplete bladder emptying, and disturbed sleep due to nighttime urination.

While medications and traditional surgeries like TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate) have been widely used, medical science has now introduced a revolutionary, minimally invasive option — Water Vapour Therapy (Rezum) — that is transforming how BPH is treated.

What is Water Vapour Therapy (Rezum)?

Rezum is an advanced, minimally invasive day-care procedure that uses the natural energy stored in water vapour (steam) to reduce excess prostate tissue causing urinary obstruction.

During the treatment, controlled doses of sterile steam are precisely delivered into the enlarged prostate via a small instrument inserted through the urethra. The thermal energy from the vapour causes the targeted prostate cells to shrink and die, and over time, the body naturally reabsorbs this tissue, relieving pressure on the urethra and improving urine flow.

Why Rezum is a Game-Changer

1. Minimally Invasive, Day-Care Procedure
   The procedure typically takes less than 30 minutes and allows patients to return home the same day.
2. Preserves Sexual and Urinary Function
   Rezum therapy has a minimal risk of erectile dysfunction or retrograde ejaculation, preserving natural functions that are often affected by traditional surgeries.
3. Quick Recovery, Long-Lasting Results
   Noticeable improvement in urinary symptoms is seen within 2 to 6 weeks, and the results are proven to last for 5 years or more.
4. No Major Surgery or Hospital Stay Required
   With no major incisions and faster recovery, Rezum offers a safe and comfortable alternative to conventional prostate surgeries.
5. Reduces Dependence on Medication
   Many patients can discontinue long-term prostate medications post-procedure, eliminating side effects and reducing lifelong costs.
