Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), or enlarged prostate, is a condition in which the prostate gland grows and presses against the urinary tract. If left untreated, BPH can cause complications such as difficulty urinating, urinary tract infections (UTIs), bladder stones, bladder damage, and even kidney problems.
Today, patients do not always have to undergo open surgery. The Rezum water vapor technology is a modern, effective, low-risk, and patient-friendly solution, suitable even for elderly patients.

What is Rezum?
Rezum is a minimally invasive procedure that uses thermal energy from water vapor to shrink enlarged prostate tissue. The vapor is injected directly into the prostate, destroying the cells that block urine flow. Within weeks, the prostate begins to shrink, and symptoms gradually improve.
Procedure steps:
-
Performed under regional anesthesia (local anesthetic) for patient comfort.
-
The urologist inserts a special device through the urethra.
-
A fine needle delivers water vapor into the enlarged prostate tissue.
-
The treated tissue is carefully destroyed and naturally shrinks over time.
Advantages of Rezum Over Conventional Prostate Surgery
The Rezum method offers many benefits that make it a leading choice for BPH treatment:
- No open surgery – a safe, minimally invasive option for elderly patients.
- Quick procedure – only 10–30 minutes.
- Fast recovery – patients can return to activities quickly.
- No general anesthesia – only local anesthetic is required.
- Preserves sexual function – erections and ejaculation remain normal.
- Rapid symptom relief – improvements usually felt within weeks.
- Outpatient procedure – patients can go home the same day.
- Repeatable – can be done again if symptoms return.
