ReZŪM Water Vapor Therapy for BPH
Minimally Invasive BPH Treatment Using the Power of Steam.
What is ReZŪM Water Vapor Therapy?
ReZŪM Water Vapor Therapy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses the natural thermal energy of sterile water vapor (steam) to treat Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). It targets and removes the obstructive prostate tissue that causes urinary symptoms, providing a safe and effective alternative to daily medications or more invasive surgeries.
Clinical Mechanism
The Clinical Mechanism of Action:
1. Quick Steam Delivery: Sterile water vapor is injected directly into the prostate for just 9 seconds per treatment.
2. Targeted Tissue Removal: The steam releases heat that instantly destroys the excess prostate tissue blocking the urethra, while safely preserving sexual function.
3. Natural Healing: Over the next few weeks, your body naturally absorbs and clears away the treated tissue.
4. Fast BPH Relief: As the prostate shrinks, the urethra opens up, significantly improving urinary flow and relieving bothersome urinary symptoms.
Treatment Procedure
Anesthesia
General anesthesia or deep sedation is administered to ensure complete patient comfort. The patient remains asleep throughout the procedure.
Vapor Delivery
Thin device inserted through urethra. Sterile steam injected into prostate.
Cell Disruption
Steam energy disrupts cells, which are naturally absorbed over weeks.
Discharge
Procedure ends. Catheter may be placed temporarily. Home same day.
Safety & Side Effects
ReZŪM is very safe. Temporary side effects include dysuria (painful urination), blood in urine, or urgency for 1-2 weeks. These resolve quickly. No permanent sexual side effects.
Suitable Candidates
- Men with moderate to severe BPH symptoms (frequent urination, weak stream).
- Prostate size 30-80cc.
- Those unwilling to take daily BPH medications.
- Men prioritizing sexual function preservation.
Recovery Timeline
Tissue Reabsorption
Dead tissue is absorbed. Temporary urinary symptoms may occur.
Symptom Improvement
Urinary flow begins to improve. Frequency decreases.
Peak Results
Maximum benefit achieved. Sustained relief for years.
