Powered by convective water vapor energy, the Rezum System delivers targeted, controlled doses of the stored thermal energy in water vapor directly to the region of the prostate gland with the obstructive tissue causing the lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Each 9-second treatment uses 0.42ml of heated sterile water vapor which rapidly and uniformly disperses through the tissue interstices. The condensation of water vapor releases stored thermal energy. Cell membranes are denatured, thereby causing immediate cell death, the vasculature is closed, and there is denervation of the alpha-adrenergic nerves within the treatment zone providing you with an efficient, uniform, predictable treatment.
Over time, this ablated tissue is reabsorbed by the body’s natural healing response, reducing the volume of tissue allowing the urethra to open relieving LUTS.
The Rezum procedure provides the following benefits to men suffering from BPH:
Alternative to BPH medications
Studies support Rezum relieves symptoms safely and effectively
Noticeable symptom improvement within two weeks
Simple in-office/out-patient therapy
Does not require general anesthesia
Preserves erectile and urinary functions
