HOW DOES REZUM™ WORK?
Rezum ™ Water Vapor Therapy uses the natural energy stored in water vapor to shrink the prostate tissue. A small instrument is inserted into the urethra and, in 9-second intervals, water vapor or steam is released into the target prostate tissue. When the steam turns back into the water, the stored energy is released causing the cells of the prostate to die. Over a short amount of time, the body’s natural healing process will absorb the dead cells in the prostate allowing the urethra to open and the symptoms of enlarged prostate are alleviated. Most patients experience relief of symptoms within 2 weeks of the procedure. The full benefits of the procedure are usually realized within 3 months.
