Rezum (Water Vapor Therapy)

Rezum is a minimally invasive treatment for an enlarged prostate that uses the natural energy stored in water vapour, or steam, to gently shrink the overgrown tissue. Benign prostatic enlargement is a common condition in older men, where the prostate grows and presses on the urinary channel, causing symptoms such as a weak stream, frequent urination and getting up at night. Rezum delivers small, precise bursts of steam directly into the enlarged tissue through the urethra, with no cutting. Over the following weeks the treated tissue is naturally reabsorbed, the channel opens up, and urinary symptoms improve.
