Rezum Water Vapor Therapy

Treat your BPH without surgery, drugs and their side effects.

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.”

Please note that the following information is provided as a general overview, and your personal experience may vary. For any specific questions or concerns regarding Rezūm Therapy, we strongly encourage you to consult with your doctor.

1. Before Your Procedure

  • Your doctor may stop anticoagulants (blood thinners) a few days to a week prior to your procedure.
  • Antibiotics may be prescribed.
  • Your doctor will discuss any pain medications that will be used.

2. Procedure Day

  • The actual procedure takes only minutes; however, plan on spending approximately two hours for the entire appointment.
  • You will receive pain medication prescribed by your doctor for the procedure.
  • Plan to have a driver for your appointment, unless your doctor tells you that you can drive yourself home.

3. Resume Your Life

  • After your procedure, continue oral antibiotics as prescribed by your doctor.
  • Your doctor may recommend a catheter for a few days to ease urination during healing.
  • Avoid activities that may irritate your prostate. Consult your doctor for specific recommendations.
  • If you experience discomfort:    
    • Take a mild pain medication, as recommended by your doctor.
    • Try a warm bath or sitting on a hot water bottle.
    • Consider temporarily removing caffeine, chocolate and alcohol from your diet.

Within a few days, you will most likely be able to resume normal activities* and most patients will experience noticeable symptom improvement in as soon as two weeks.
