How Does Rezum Water Vapor Therapy Work?
Discover the gentle effectiveness of Rezūm Water Vapor Therapy, a non-surgical treatment option that harnesses the power of natural water vapor (steam) to address excess prostate tissue that may be causing pressure on the urethra.
Rezūm Therapy is conveniently performed in your urologist’s office or at an outpatient surgery facility, all in just one brief appointment.
During each 9-second treatment, targeted prostate tissue is delicately exposed to sterile water vapor. As the steam makes contact, it releases its natural energy into the tissue. The number of treatments required will be determined by your doctor, based on the size of your prostate.
As time goes on, your body’s own healing response gradually absorbs the treated tissue, resulting in a reduction in the size of the prostate. This reduction opens up the urethra, providing relief from BPH symptoms.
Many patients begin to experience symptom relief within as little as two weeks, with the maximum benefit often occurring within three months.*1,2 Please note that individual patient responses can vary.”
