Clinical studies show that many men living with BPH experience symptom relief with Rezūm Water Vapour Therapy. It’s an option for those who’ve given up on watchful waiting and lifestyle changes, men who’ve stopped or don’t want to start taking BPH medications, or men not interested in other minimally invasive or surgical BPH procedures.

Since Rezūm Water Vapour Therapy is a minimally invasive procedure, it can be performed in a doctor’s office, clinic or other out-patient setting.

Rezūm Water Vapour Therapy can be performed under oral sedation or local anesthesia and doesn’t require general anesthesia. Your urologist will discuss your options for maximizing your comfort during the procedure.

Clinical studies show that most men experience symptom relief as soon as 2 weeks after the treatment, and improvements continue for up to 3 months. Patient responses can and do vary.

Clinical studies show that most men return to regular activities within a few days. Your urologist will discuss this with you and make personal recommendations.

Most reported side effects in the clinical study were mild to moderate in severity and typically resolved within a few weeks with the most frequent being urinary symptoms such as frequency, urgency, discomfort during urination or blood in the urine.

Please talk with your physician about ways to potentially minimize the effects of these risks.
