Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), or enlarged prostate, is a condition in which the prostate grows in size, pressing against the urinary tract. If left untreated, it can lead to several complications, such as:
- Difficulty urinating
- Urinary tract infections (UTI)
- Bladder stones
- Bladder damage
- Kidney function impairment
One of the modern treatment innovations increasingly recommended by doctors for BPH is the Rezum water vapor therapy — a minimally invasive procedure that is effective, quick, and safe for patients of all ages, including the elderly. This technology is available at the Mandaya Prostate Center.

Understanding Rezum Water Vapor Therapy
Rezum is a procedure that uses heat energy from water vapor to destroy enlarged prostate tissue blocking the urinary tract. As the obstructing tissue gradually shrinks, BPH symptoms improve, and normal urination function can be restored.
The procedure is performed under regional anesthesia to ensure patient comfort. The doctor inserts a handheld device with a thin tube through the urethra, then releases a small needle that delivers water vapor directly into the prostate tissue. The heat from the steam selectively damages the prostate cells without affecting surrounding healthy tissue.
Advantages of Rezum Technology
Compared to other BPH treatments, Rezum offers several benefits, including:
- Eliminates the need for long-term BPH medication
- Short procedure time, only about 10–30 minutes
- Symptom improvement can be felt within weeks
- Preserves male sexual function (erection and ejaculation remain normal)
- Can be performed as an outpatient procedure (same-day discharge)
- Does not require general anesthesia
- Quick recovery period
- Can be repeated if symptoms recur
