Rezūm water vapor therapy — 10-minute prostate relief preserving sexual function.
Revolutionary natural water vapor therapy delivers thermal steam into enlarged prostate tissue, shrinking obstruction over weeks without incisions, tissue burning, or sexual side effects.
Procedure at a Glance
How the Procedure Works
Gentle Scope Entry
Ultra-thin delivery device inserted into the prostatic urethra under gentle sedation.
Thermal Steam Injections
Targeted 9-second pulses of sterile water vapor delivered directly into the obstructive tissue.
Natural Cell Clearance
Steam condenses into water, releasing thermal energy that naturally shrinks excess cells.
Channel Opening
Over subsequent weeks, the body reabsorbs treated tissue, restoring a wide urinary lumen.
