Understanding Prostate Health

What is BPH?

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also called prostate enlargement, is a noncancerous increase in size of the prostate gland. Symptoms may include frequent urination, trouble starting to urinate, weak stream, inability to urinate, or loss of bladder control. Complications can include urinary tract infections, bladder stones, and chronic kidney problems.

Convective Thermal Energy

How Rezum Water Vapor Works

Unlike burning or laser resection, Rezum harnesses the natural thermodynamic properties of steam to gently clear the obstruction without harming surrounding nerve bundles.

1

Targeted Delivery

A specialized sterile delivery device reaches the obstructive prostate lobes via the natural urinary tract under local anesthesia.

2

9-Second Steam Pulse

Sterile water vapor is injected in precise 9-second intervals. The steam travels uniformly through cell interstices without crossing prostate boundaries.

3

Phase Change Energy

As vapor condenses back to water, thermal energy is released evenly, gently disrupting only the obstructive prostate cells.

4

Natural Tissue Clearing

Your body naturally absorbs and clears the treated cells over a few weeks, opening the urethra for unrestricted, smooth urine flow.

Transparent Clinical Safety Profile

Potential Side Effects of Water Vapor Therapy

Because Rezum uses natural water vapor, adverse effects are typically mild to moderate and resolve spontaneously within a few weeks post-procedure.

Common & Temporary

Mild Discomfort or Swelling

Patients may feel slight pelvic fullness or perineal pressure for the first few days as treated prostate tissue naturally responds to the therapy.

Temporary Urinary Retention

Transient tissue swelling can briefly narrow the urine passage. A temporary catheter is usually placed for 3 to 5 days to ensure effortless bladder drainage.

Irritation or Urgency While Urinating

A mild burning sensation (dysuria) or urgent sensation when urinating is common during the initial healing phase and subsides steadily.

Less Common / Rare

Blood in the Urine (Hematuria)

Traces of light pink urine or microscopic blood may occur intermittently as the body resorbs the treated prostate tissue.

Infections or Inflammation

A localized urinary tract infection is uncommon and readily controlled with a standard short course of preventive oral antibiotics prescribed by our urologists.

Erectile or Ejaculatory Issues

Unlike surgical resection, clinical studies show zero permanent erectile dysfunction risk and an exceptionally low rate (<4%) of ejaculatory alterations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Water Vapor Therapy (Rezum) is a clinically proven, minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). It uses natural thermal energy stored in sterile water vapor to ablate obstructive prostate tissue causing urinary symptoms.
A specialized delivery device introduces targeted micro-injections of radiofrequency-generated sterile water vapor into the hyperplastic prostate tissue. As the steam condenses back to water, it releases convective thermal energy, gently disrupting cell membranes. The body naturally resorbs the treated tissue over subsequent weeks, opening the urinary channel.
It is designed for men aged 50 and above who experience moderate to severe lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to an enlarged prostate (BPH), particularly those who wish to avoid daily medication side effects or invasive surgical resection (TURP).
The actual water vapor delivery takes only around 10 minutes. The entire hospital visit is handled as an outpatient day-care admission, allowing patients to walk in and walk out on the same day.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, prostate nerve block, or light sedation to maximize patient comfort. Most men report feeling only mild pelvic pressure rather than acute pain.
Noticeable symptom relief typically starts within 2 to 3 weeks as the treated tissue begins to recede. Continued clinical improvement is experienced up to 3 months following the procedure.
Potential side effects are usually temporary and mild, including slight urinary urgency, mild burning during urination, temporary retention requiring a brief catheter, and light blood in the urine. Crucially, sexual function and ejaculation are preserved in over 96% of men.
Initial results manifest around day 14 to 21. Maximum urinary flow rate improvement and complete bladder emptying satisfaction are typically achieved at 6 to 12 weeks post-procedure.
Yes. Most patients resume regular sedentary work and non-strenuous daily activities within 3 to 5 days. Strenuous physical exertion and heavy lifting should be avoided for approximately 2 to 3 weeks.
Unlike lifelong medications, Rezum eliminates pill compliance and related side effects (like hypotension or erectile dysfunction). Unlike traditional surgery (TURP), it requires no cutting or burning, does not require general anesthesia, involves no prolonged hospital stay, and preserves sexual function.
