What is Rezūm Therapy?

Rezūm Water Vapor Therapy is a non-surgical therapy that uses the natural energy stored
in water vapor, or steam, to shrink enlarged prostates.1,2

Before

An enlarged prostate can squeeze the urethra, making it difficult to pass urine from the bladder.

During

During each 9-second Rezūm treatment, steam is released into the prostate to shrink the excess tissue that is pressing on the urethra

After

As your body heals and the extra tissue is gone, the urethra opens and urine can flow freely.

Most patients begin to experience symptom relief within two weeks, and maximum benefit may be reached within three months.*1,2

Patient responses can and do vary.

The number of water vapor treatments varies depending on the size of the prostate. The procedure is done during one appointment. The images above are intended to show how the procedure works, not to provide an exact representation of patient results.
