What Is Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Treatment?
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Treatment is a treatment that addresses the enlargement of the prostate gland and the urinary symptoms it causes through Rezum Water Vapor Therapy. This therapy uses the thermal energy of water vapor to target and shrink excess prostate tissue. As the body naturally removes the treated tissue, symptoms such as frequent urination, weak urine flow, urgency, and difficulty emptying the bladder improve, enhancing overall urinary function and quality of life. The treatment is performed by a doctor at our affiliated hospital in a clinical or outpatient setting, avoiding the need for major surgery or long hospital stays.
Rezum Water Vapor Therapy provides several important benefits. The minimally invasive approach allows for a quick recovery, with normal activities often resuming within a few days. Sexual function is preserved, with a low risk of retrograde ejaculation or erectile dysfunction. Long-lasting relief from urinary symptoms is achieved as the prostate tissue gradually shrinks. The therapy also reduces the need for daily medications and offers a safe, effective, and clinically supported option for men with moderate to severe BPH symptoms.
Additional benefits include improved comfort during urination, reduced nighttime trips to the bathroom, and enhanced overall quality of life. The treatment can be performed in an outpatient setting, minimizing disruption to daily routines, work, or travel. The gradual natural healing process of the treated prostate tissue provides sustained symptom relief, making Rezum Water Vapor Therapy a convenient and reliable solution for managing BPH without major surgical risks.
How It Works
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Treatment begins by a consultation with the doctor at our affiliated hospital to assess prostate size, urinary symptoms, and overall health. During this visit, the doctor reviews medical history, conducts necessary examinations, and discusses whether Rezum Water Vapor Therapy is the most suitable option. Once the treatment is planned, a transurethral device is used to deliver sterile water vapor directly into the enlarged prostate tissue. Each steam injection lasts approximately nine seconds, targeting specific areas of the prostate to shrink excess tissue. The entire operation typically takes about 20 to 30 minutes, making it a quick and minimally invasive treatment.
The benefits of this approach include a reduction in urinary symptoms such as weak urine flow, frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete bladder emptying. The treatment preserves sexual function and carries a low risk of complications. Downtime is minimal, with most patients resuming normal daily activities within 2 to 3 days. Some temporary discomfort, such as mild urinary urgency or soreness, may occur 2 to 3 days after treatment. Over time, as the body naturally removes the treated tissue, lasting improvement in urinary flow and overall prostate health is achieved.
