ReZŪM Water Vapor Therapy for BPH
Minimally Invasive BPH Treatment Relieve Enlarged Prostate Symptoms Without Surgery Using Steam Therapy.
What is ReZŪM Water Vapor Therapy?
ReZŪM Water Vapor Therapy is a minimally invasive, FDA-cleared procedure that uses the natural thermal energy of sterile water vapor (steam) to treat Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). By targeting and shrinking the obstructive prostate tissue that causes urinary symptoms, ReZŪM provides lasting relief without the risks and long recovery associated with traditional prostate surgery.
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 has an excellent safety profile and is FDA-cleared. Temporary side effects may include dysuria (discomfort during urination), traces of blood in the urine, or increased urgency for 1–2 weeks after the procedure. These typically resolve on their own. Importantly, ReZŪM preserves both erectile and ejaculatory function in the vast majority of patients.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
QIs the ReZŪM procedure painful?
No. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia or deep sedation, so you will be asleep throughout and feel no discomfort at all.
QWill ReZŪM affect my sexual function?
ReZŪM preserves both erectile function and normal ejaculation in the vast majority of patients — a key advantage over traditional prostate surgery (TURP).
QHow long do the results of ReZŪM last?
Clinical studies demonstrate sustained symptom relief for at least 5 years, with many patients experiencing benefits well beyond that timeframe.
