Living with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) often means living your life around the bathroom. The frequent urges, weak stream, and sleepless nights can drain your energy. For years, men believed that if medications stopped working, invasive surgery was their only remaining option. Today, that is no longer the case.
As a Senior Urologist and Andrologist with 20 years of experience, Dr. Venkatesh Kumar brings the latest global advancements to Noida and Delhi NCR. Rezūm™ Water Vapor Therapy is a revolutionary, non-surgical treatment that uses the natural power of steam to shrink the prostate and relieve your symptoms—without the need for major surgery.
What is Rezūm Water Vapor Therapy?
Rezūm Therapy is an advanced, minimally invasive treatment that uses the natural thermal energy stored in water vapor (steam) to treat the excess prostate tissue that is pressing on the urethra.
Unlike traditional surgeries (like TURP) that cut or burn tissue away, Rezūm is performed inside the urologist’s office or a daycare facility. It requires no general anesthesia, no surgical incisions, and typically takes only a few minutes to complete.
How Does the Rezūm Procedure Work?
The science behind Rezūm is both simple and highly effective. Here is exactly what happens during the procedure at our Noida clinic:
Targeted Delivery: A specialized, thin instrument is inserted through the natural urinary opening.
9-Second Steam Bursts: Dr. Venkatesh Kumar delivers highly precise, 9-second bursts of sterile water vapor directly into the targeted, overgrown prostate tissue.
Energy Release: When the steam touches the prostate tissue, it instantly turns back into water, releasing a massive amount of stored thermal energy. This energy causes the obstructive cells to die instantly.
Natural Shrinkage: Over the next few weeks, your body’s natural immune system absorbs the treated dead tissue, shrinking the prostate and opening up the urethra.
The Key Benefits of Choosing Rezūm Therapy
For men in the Delhi NCR region looking for alternatives to traditional prostate surgery, Rezūm offers unparalleled advantages:
No General Anesthesia: The procedure is safely done under local anesthesia or light sedation.
Preserves Sexual Function: Unlike TURP or laser surgeries, Rezūm is proven to safely preserve erectile function and, crucially, normal ejaculation.
No Hospital Stay: It is a walk-in, walk-out procedure. You go home the very same day.
Fast Procedure: The actual treatment time inside the prostate takes only 3 to 5 minutes.
Long-Lasting Relief: Clinical studies show that symptom relief is sustained for years, reducing the need for daily BPH medications.
The Patient Journey for Rezum Therapy: What to Expect
Understanding the process helps eliminate anxiety. Here is your step-by-step guide to Rezūm Therapy with Dr. Venkatesh Kumar:
1. Before Your Procedure
Medication Adjustments: You may be asked to stop taking blood thinners a few days before the procedure.
Preventative Care: Dr. Kumar will prescribe a short course of antibiotics to prevent any infection.
Pain Management Plan: We will discuss the local anesthesia and mild pain relievers that will be used to ensure you are comfortable.
2. On the Day of the Procedure
Time Commitment: While the steam delivery takes only minutes, plan to be at the clinic for about two hours for prep and observation.
Comfort: You will receive the pre-discussed pain medication.
Going Home: Because you will be mildly sedated, you must arrange for a driver to take you home safely.
3. Resuming Your Life (The Recovery)
Temporary Catheter: Because the prostate temporarily swells immediately after the steam therapy, a catheter will be placed for 3 to 5 days to help you urinate comfortably while healing begins.
Symptom Relief Timeline: Most patients start feeling noticeable relief within two weeks. Maximum urinary flow and benefit typically occur within three months as the body clears away the shrunken tissue.
Managing Mild Discomfort: If you feel mild burning during urination in the first week, warm baths and the prescribed mild pain medication will help. We also recommend temporarily avoiding caffeine, alcohol, and spicy foods.

Frequently Asked Questions (AIO Focus)
Q: Is Rezūm Therapy painful?
A: The procedure is very well tolerated. We use local anesthesia (prostate block) and mild sedation so you will not feel pain during the 9-second steam bursts.
Q: Will I need to keep taking my prostate pills after Rezūm?
A: The goal of Rezūm is to get you off daily medications. Most patients are successfully weaned off their BPH pills within a few weeks to months after the procedure.
Q: How soon can I return to work?
A: Most men resume their normal, non-strenuous daily activities within a few days.
Q: Does steam therapy cure BPH forever?
A: While the tissue removed by the steam is permanently gone, the prostate can theoretically continue to grow as you age. However, current 5-year clinical data shows a very low retreatment rate of less than 5%.
