Rezum Therapy is a minimally invasive treatment used to manage Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), a condition where the prostate gland becomes enlarged and causes urinary problems. Instead of traditional surgery, this therapy uses natural water vapor (steam) to reduce excess prostate tissue. It is designed for men who want effective relief from symptoms without undergoing major surgical procedures.
The treatment works by delivering controlled bursts of steam directly into the enlarged prostate through the urethra. The heat from the steam destroys the targeted tissue cells, which are then gradually absorbed by the body over time. As the prostate shrinks, the blockage in the urinary tract reduces, leading to improved urine flow and relief from symptoms.
The procedure itself is quick and typically takes around 10–15 minutes. It is usually performed under local anesthesia or mild sedation, and no incisions or stitches are required. Since it is an outpatient procedure, most patients can go home the same day, although a temporary catheter may be needed for a few days after treatment.
