At Regal Hospital, we specialize in the Water vapor procedure for BPH, providing patients with effective, minimally invasive solutions to regain comfort and improve quality of life.

Water Vapor Therapy Procedure

What conditions are treated with the Water Vapor Therapy procedure?

Water Vapor Therapy is used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). BPH is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland—situated just below the bladder and in front of the rectum—that can compress the urethra and lead to urinary symptoms (like difficulty urinating) and ejaculatory dysfunction. While BPH most often occurs in individuals over age 50, it can also develop in younger adults.

How long does Water vapor therapy take?

Water vapor therapy usually takes about 30 minutes. Each individual treatment takes about 10 seconds. Up to 15 treatments can be given during one procedure. 

What is the intraoperative protocol for Water Vapor Therapy?

Water Vapor Therapy is a quick, in-office treatment that feels a lot like getting a numbing gel at the dentist. First, your doctor will ask you to empty your bladder so you’re comfortable. Then, they’ll apply a local anesthetic to gently dull any sensation in your urethra and prostate. Next, a urologist guides a slender, hand-held wand into your urethra. From its tip, a tiny needle pops out and delivers short bursts of steam directly into the overgrown parts of your prostate. The heat kills off excess prostate cells, and over the days that follow, those areas shrink back to size. To help everything settle, you’ll go home with a small catheter in place for a few days until the swelling eases and you’re ready to go back to normal.

Water Vapor Therapy for BPH: Who Isn’t a Suitable Candidate?

Healthcare providers may not recommend Water vapor therapy if you have:

  • A urethral implant.
  • A very large prostate (over 100 grams)

Risks / Benefits

What are the potential benefits of Water vapor therapy?

Water Vapor Therapy offers a gentle yet powerful way to ease BPH symptoms—and many men are surprised by how quickly they feel better. Here’s what you can look forward to:

  • No more daily pills. Say goodbye to long-term BPH medications and their side effects.
  • Rapid relief. Many guys notice a real difference in their urinary flow and comfort within just a few weeks.
  • Sexual health stays intact. Unlike some treatments, this approach preserves erections and ejaculation.
  • Go home the same day. It’s an outpatient procedure—no overnight hospital stay needed.
  • Only local numbing, no general anesthesia. You’ll be comfortable without the risks of a full “put-under.”
  • Back to your routine fast. Recovery is quick, so you can get back to work and life in minimal time.
  • Repeatable if needed. If symptoms ever creep back, you can have the treatment again.
How effective is Water Vapor Therapy for BPH, and what success rates can patients expect?

You’ll be pleased to hear that Water Vapor Therapy delivers lasting relief for most men with BPH. Real-world studies show that over 95% of patients avoid any follow-up surgeries or additional procedures in the first five years, and about 90% stay off daily prostate medications during that same period. That means the vast majority enjoy long-term symptom control without going back under the knife or back on pills.

How long can you expect symptom relief from Water Vapor Therapy for BPH?

Water Vapor Therapy may feel like tomorrow’s technology—but it’s FDA-approved and backed by real-world results. Since gaining clearance in 2015, this minimally invasive BPH treatment has consistently delivered lasting relief, with clinical data showing effective improvement in urinary symptoms for at least ten years.

What are the potential downsides of Water Vapor Therapy for BPH, and what should patients be aware of?Accordion Heading

While Water Vapor Therapy is generally very safe, it’s helpful to know about a few possible side effects and risks:

  • Burning or discomfort when you urinate or ejaculate in the days following treatment.
  • Increased urinary frequency or urgency, meaning you might need to head to the bathroom a bit more often.
  • Blood in your urine (hematuria) or semen (hematospermia), which usually clears up on its own.
  • Urinary tract infections (UTIs)—your doctor may prescribe antibiotics as a precaution.
  • Dry ejaculation, where you reach orgasm without releasing semen.
  • Urethral narrowing (strictures), which can sometimes develop as the urethra heals.
  • Bladder stones, though this is rare, and can be managed if they occur.

Knowing these risks ahead of time can help you feel more prepared—and you’ll have your care team on hand to guide you through any questions or concerns.

Recovery and Outlook

How quickly can you expect to feel relief after undergoing Water Vapor Therapy for BPH?

In the weeks following Water Vapor Therapy, it’s common for BPH symptoms to temporarily flare up before they start to improve. Most men begin to notice meaningful relief within a few weeks, though it can take up to three months to experience the full benefit of the procedure. If you’re still dealing with bothersome symptoms after that point, be sure to touch base with your urologist so they can assess your progress and help guide any next steps.

How can I prepare for Water Vapor Therapy for BPH to make the procedure more comfortable and recovery smoother?

Here are some simple, research-backed tips to make your Water Vapor Therapy recovery smoother and more comfortable:

  • Prioritize gentle rest. Plan to take it easy for at least 24 hours after your treatment. You’re free to drive home and move around lightly, but hold off on running, heavy lifting, cycling, or any strenuous workouts for a few weeks.
  • Give yourself a healing pause. Skip sexual activity—both intercourse and masturbation—for several days so your prostate and urethra can recover without added irritation.
  • Stay super-hydrated. Drinking plenty of water helps flush out any blood or debris, speeding up your bladder’s return to normal. Aim for at least 8–10 glasses per day.
  • Skip bladder irritants. Hold off on caffeine (coffee, tea, energy drinks), fizzy sodas or seltzers, and citrus juices for a week or two—these can make you feel like you have to go more often or can sting when you urinate.

When To Call the Doctor

Water Vapor Therapy Recovery: When Should You Contact Your Healthcare Provider?

Plan to see your urologist for a Water therapy follow-up appointment about 2–3 weeks after your procedure. This visit lets your doctor:

  • Check how your prostate and urethra are healing
  • Review any lingering symptoms
  • Answer questions about your recovery

In the meantime, contact your healthcare provider right away if you notice any of these warning signs during your Rezūm therapy recovery:

  • Inability to urinate or a sudden blockage
  • Severe pelvic or abdominal pain that won’t ease with prescribed pain relief
  • Fever above 101°F (38°C) or persistent chills
  • Diarrhea lasting more than a day

Reaching out promptly can help catch complications early and keep your Water vapor therapy results on track.
