Rezum Vapor Therapy for the Prostate
‘Rezum therapy is a minimally invasive method using steam for benign prostatic hyperplasia. It does not require anaesthesia and preserves sexual function.’
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia and Symptoms
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common problem in men. Patients usually experience the following symptoms:
- Frequent urination
- Difficulty urinating
- Feeling of incomplete bladder emptying
These symptoms are initially managed through lifestyle changes and medication. However, some patients may require surgery or minimally invasive treatments for a permanent solution.
What is Rezum Therapy?
Rezum therapy is an innovative and minimally invasive method used for benign prostatic hyperplasia. Increasingly preferred in recent years, this method involves applying steam energy to the prostate tissue.
Sterile steam, generated by a device, is delivered to the prostate tissue through the urethra. The high heat from the steam causes sudden damage to the prostate cells, and over time, the prostate shrinks. This leads to a rapid reduction in urinary symptoms.
Advantages of Rezum Treatment
- No anaesthesia required → Most patients can be treated with local anaesthesia or sedation.
- Sexual function is preserved → Does not cause erectile dysfunction.
- Very low risk of retrograde ejaculation → Offers a significant advantage compared to other prostate surgeries.
- Rapid recovery → Most patients can return to their daily lives on the same day.
- Short procedure time → Takes less than 20 minutes on average.
- Rapid effect → Symptom improvement begins within the first 2 weeks, with maximum benefit occurring within 3 months.
Who is Rezum Suitable For?
- It is an alternative to medication for patients who do not wish to take medication.
- It is an alternative to surgery for patients who do not wish to undergo open or closed prostate surgery.
However, selecting the right patient is crucial for success with Rezum treatment. Therefore, you must consult an experienced urology specialist.
