Rezūm Water Vapor Therapy
Rezūm Water Vapor Therapy is a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment option for men with symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as an enlarged prostate. The procedure uses a small device that is inserted through the urethra and into the prostate, where it delivers water vapor to heat and destroy the excess prostate tissue. The procedure typically takes around 30 minutes to complete and it is done under local anesthesia.
During the procedure, the urologist will insert the device through the urethra and into the prostate. The device will then deliver water vapor to heat and destroy the excess prostate tissue, which shrinks the prostate and improves urinary flow. The procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis, and most men can return to normal activities within a few days.
It's important to note that Rezūm Water Vapor Therapy is not suitable for all men, especially those with severe symptoms or a large prostate, and the long-term results are yet to be proven. It's also important to have a follow-up with your urologist after the procedure to evaluate the results and monitor for any side effects.
It's always recommended to consult with a urologist to determine if Rezūm Water Vapor Therapy is a good option for you and what are the possible risks, benefits and alternatives before making a decision.
