Water Vapor Therapy is an innovative treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) that uses high-temperature steam. This approach provides an effective alternative to traditional surgical procedures and long-term medication.

Understanding Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a condition in which the prostate gland enlarges and compresses the urethra. It commonly affects men over the age of 50, with severity increasing as men age. Common symptoms include:

• Difficulty initiating urination

• Incomplete bladder emptying

• Other lower urinary tract symptoms

Diagnosis of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Diagnosis typically involves a consultation with a healthcare provider and may include the following tests:

• Blood testing for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels

• Urinalysis

• Prostate ultrasound

Treatment Options for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Treatment options for BPH vary depending on symptom severity and may include lifestyle modifications, medication, or surgical intervention. Surgical treatments include transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), laser surgery, and water vapor (steam) therapy. Each option has specific benefits and is selected based on the patient’s condition and the physician’s recommendation.

What Is Water Vapor Therapy?

Water Vapor Therapy uses high-temperature steam to reduce prostate size. During the procedure, a scope and specialized instruments are inserted through the urethra to access the prostate. Steam at a temperature of 103°C is delivered into the prostate 6–10 times, with each application lasting no more than 10 seconds.

The average treatment time is approximately 15 minutes. After the procedure, a urinary catheter is typically placed for about one week to help reduce swelling and support healing.

Rezūm Therapy

Rezūm therapy uses high-temperature steam to induce apoptosis (programmed cell death) in prostate tissue that obstructs the urinary tract. As the treated tissue is gradually reabsorbed by the body, the prostate shrinks, relieving urinary obstruction and allowing more normal urination.

Ideal Candidates for Rezūm Therapy

• Men aged 50 years and older

• Prostate size between 30–80 grams (as measured by ultrasound)

• Inadequate response to medication or significant medication side effects

• Patients who are not suitable candidates for conventional surgery

• No active bladder infection

• No penile implants

Advantages of Rezūm Therapy

• Minimal bleeding during the procedure

• Short treatment time with no hospitalization required

• No general anesthesia and no permanent implants

• Noticeable reduction in prostate size within 6 months

• Minimal impact on sexual function

• No need for repeat treatment for up to 5 years

• Return to normal daily activities within 2 weeks

• Ability to resume normal sexual activity
