Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), or enlarged prostate, occurs when the prostate grows and presses against the urinary tract. Left untreated, this condition can lead to complications such as difficulty urinating, urinary tract infections (UTIs), bladder stones, bladder damage, and even kidney problems.
One modern treatment method widely recommended by doctors to address BPH is the REZUM water vapor technology.

What is REZUM Water Vapor Technology?
REZUM is a minimally invasive procedure designed to shrink an enlarged prostate. It uses the thermal energy from water vapor to destroy excess prostate tissue that blocks urine flow, thereby reducing symptoms and restoring normal urination.
During the procedure, regional anesthesia (local anesthetic) is administered to ensure patient comfort. The urologist inserts a handheld device with a thin tube through the urethra, then deploys a small needle that delivers water vapor directly into the prostate tissue. The vapor destroys prostate cells, causing the gland to gradually shrink.
Advantages of REZUM Water Vapor Therapy
Compared to other prostate treatment methods, REZUM offers several benefits:
- Eliminates the need for long-term medication for BPH
- Quick procedure, lasting only about 10–30 minutes
- Symptom improvement within weeks
- Preserves male sexual function (normal erections and ejaculation)
- Can be performed as an outpatient procedure (same-day discharge)
- No need for general anesthesia
- Fast recovery time
- Can be repeated if symptoms return
