What is Rezūm?
Rezūm therapy is a minimally invasive nonsurgical treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (Prostate enlargement) that has good long-term results. It involves a special instrument that uses water vapor (steam) to shrink the enlarged areas of your prostate. The instrument goes through your urethra, so you won’t have incisions or need stitches.
How does the Rezūm Therapy Work to treat prostate enlargement?
The Rezūm therapy is completed in a single visit; there is no need for ongoing therapy.
It works by delivering very small amounts of steam to the enlarged prostate. This process damages the cells causing obstruction, thus reducing the overall size of the prostate and the symptoms associated with BPH such as:
-
- A weak urine stream.
- Trouble starting the flow of urine.
- Starting and stopping again when urinating
- Not emptying your bladder completely
- Urinating more often, especially at night
- Sudden urges to urinate.
- Leaking or dribbling after you urinate
- Straining to urinate

BPH commonly affects people over 50. But it may also begin when you’re younger.

- If you take blood thinners, you may need to stop taking them up to a week before your procedure. Ask your doctor before stopping any of your medications.
- Your doctor may prescribe antibiotics that you take before, during, and after the treatment.
- Your doctor will talk with you about pain relief options.
During procedure
Rezūm therapy is an outpatient procedure. Before Rezūm therapy, a healthcare provider will use a local anesthetic to numb your urethra and prostate to make you more comfortable during the procedure.
Then insert a handheld device with a long, thin tube at the end into your urethra. A tiny needle releases from the end of the tube and delivers steam into the enlarged areas of your prostate. The steam destroys the prostate cells, causing the enlarged areas to shrink.
You’ll use a urinary catheter for several days until the swelling goes down.
After the Procedure

- Continue taking your antibiotics as prescribed by your doctor.
- You may need to use a catheter for a few days as you heal.
- Usually, you can resume normal activities within a few days.
- If you have pain, take your pain medicine as prescribed by your doctor.
- You may notice improvement in your BPH symptoms within two weeks, but full results usually take three months.
