One of the main concerns for male patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the side effects of treatment that may interfere with ejaculation and erection. As a solution to this concern, the REZUM water vapor technology is now available, offering a treatment option for BPH patients without affecting sexual function.

What is REZUM? A Therapy for Benign Prostate Enlargement That Doesn’t Interfere with Sexual Function
REZUM therapy is a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia. This method is recommended for BPH treatment because it provides good long-term results.
Here’s how the REZUM procedure works:
- The doctor inserts a handheld device with a long, thin tube into the urethra.
- The device releases a small needle from the end of the tube, delivering steam to the enlarged prostate tissue.
- The steam destroys the prostate cells, causing the enlarged area to shrink.
The REZUM therapy doesn’t take long — the procedure usually takes about 30 minutes.
Benefits of REZUM Therapy for Treating Prostate Enlargement in Men
Besides preserving a man’s sexual function (erection and ejaculation), REZUM therapy has several advantages over other BPH treatments:
-
Patients no longer need to rely on medication for BPH.
-
Symptom relief can be felt within a few weeks.
-
It is an outpatient procedure, meaning patients can go home the same day (with doctor approval).
-
Does not require general anesthesia.
-
Quick recovery period.
-
The REZUM procedure can be repeated if symptoms return.
