Frequent urination is a common complaint among men, especially as they get older, and is often considered a minor issue. However, frequent urination can be a sign of prostate enlargement, a condition that puts pressure on the urinary tract, disrupts urine flow, and causes the urge to urinate more often, particularly at night.
Frequent urination caused by prostate enlargement should not be ignored, as it can significantly affect quality of life and daily activities. With advancements in medical technology, Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri provides REZUM therapy as an effective solution to help relieve these symptoms without the need for major surgery.

Frequent Urination: Be Aware of Prostate Enlargement
Prostate enlargement is a health condition that becomes increasingly common as men age. Also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), this condition occurs when the prostate gradually increases in size. The prostate is a small gland that plays a role in producing seminal fluid and is located just below the bladder.
As the prostate enlarges, it can cause various uncomfortable symptoms, such as obstruction of urine flow from the bladder. If left untreated, prostate enlargement may also lead to complications involving the bladder, urinary tract, or even the kidneys.
In addition to frequent or urgent urination, common symptoms of prostate enlargement include:
- More frequent urination at night
- Difficulty starting urination
- Weak or interrupted urine stream
- Dribbling at the end of urination
- A feeling that the bladder does not empty completely
Treat Frequent Urination with REZUM Water Vapor Therapy
If your frequent urination is caused by prostate enlargement, Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri offers modern treatment with the latest REZUM water vapor technology. This therapy is an option for patients who want to treat prostate enlargement without undergoing major surgery.
REZUM therapy is a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment designed to effectively manage benign prostatic hyperplasia. This method is widely recommended because it provides long-term results with low risk, while helping relieve urinary symptoms caused by BPH without conventional surgical procedures.
REZUM Therapy Procedure
REZUM therapy is performed through the following steps:
- The doctor inserts a specialized handheld device with a thin, long tube through the urinary tract (urethra).
- A small needle at the tip of the device delivers water vapor directly into the enlarged prostate tissue.
- The water vapor destroys excess prostate cells, causing the prostate to gradually shrink.
- Shrinkage of prostate tissue helps improve urine flow and reduce BPH symptoms.
- The entire REZUM procedure typically takes about 30 minutes.
Advantages of REZUM Therapy for Benign Prostate Enlargement
Some of the key benefits of REZUM therapy include:
- Helps preserve male sexual function, including erectile and ejaculatory function
- Eliminates the need for long-term medication for prostate enlargement
- Symptom improvement can be felt within a few weeks after treatment
- Performed as an outpatient procedure, allowing patients to go home the same day
- Does not require general anesthesia
- Faster recovery time compared to prostate surgery
- REZUM therapy can be repeated if BPH symptoms return in the future
