Rezum Water Vapor Therapy

A rapid, minimally invasive BPH treatment that preserves sexual function.

Rezum Water Vapor Therapy

The Power of Steam

Rezum is a revolutionary, FDA-approved treatment for enlarged prostates (BPH) that uses the natural energy stored in water vapor (steam). It is designed for men looking for symptom relief without the risks of traditional surgery or daily medications.

The procedure is incredibly fast, often taking less than 15 minutes, and is highly favored by younger men because it is uniquely proven to preserve erectile and ejaculatory function.

How The Procedure Works

1. Endoscopic Delivery

A small device is inserted through the urethra into the prostate under light sedation or local anesthesia.

2. Steam Injection

Targeted, 9-second bursts of sterile water vapor are injected directly into the obstructive prostate tissue.

3. Cell Death

The steam instantly destroys the excess prostate cells that are blocking the urine flow.

4. Natural Reabsorption

Over the next few weeks, your body's immune system naturally clears away the dead tissue, opening the urethra.
