Minimally Invasive Rezum Procedure

Prostate enlargement, medically known as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), is an extremely common condition that affects a large percentage of men as they grow older. As the prostate continues to increase in size, it gradually puts pressure on the urethra, leading to multiple urinary problems that can interfere with daily life, confidence, sleep, and overall well-being. Fortunately, advancements in modern urology have introduced minimally invasive treatment options that offer effective relief without the need for major surgery. Among these, one of the most innovative and patient-friendly solutions is the Rezum Water Vapor Therapy, a breakthrough procedure available at the J R Nathan Urology Clinic, a trusted center for advanced urological care.

At the heart of the clinic’s success in treating BPH through Rezum therapy is Dr. J R Nathan, a highly experienced urologist who focuses on safe, evidence-based, and minimally invasive approaches. The clinic has become a preferred destination for men seeking effective prostate treatment with minimal discomfort, minimal downtime, and long-term relief.

This detailed blog explains everything you need to know about the Minimally Invasive Rezum Procedure at J R Nathan Urology Clinic — how it works, who it benefits, what to expect at the clinic, why patients prefer it, and how it compares to other BPH treatments.

Understanding Prostate Enlargement (BPH): Why Men Need Reliable Treatment

As men age, hormonal changes can cause the prostate gland to gradually grow. While this enlargement is benign and not cancerous, the growing gland presses against the urethra, making it difficult for urine to pass freely. Many men ignore the symptoms at first, but over time, they can become increasingly disruptive.

Common symptoms include:

• Frequent urge to urinate

• Waking up multiple times at night

• Weak or interrupted urine flow

• Feeling of incomplete bladder emptying

• Difficulty starting urination

• Sudden urgency

• Dribbling or leakage

Left untreated, BPH can lead to complications such as bladder infections, urinary retention, bladder stones, and reduced kidney function. This is why timely evaluation becomes essential, and why the J R Nathan Urology Clinic emphasizes awareness, early intervention, and patient education.

While medications are often prescribed initially, many men experience side effects such as dizziness, reduced libido, fatigue, and ejaculatory changes. J R Nathan Urology Clinic sees many patients who want long-term relief without depending on daily medication. Others prefer to avoid traditional surgeries like TURP due to recovery time or the risk of sexual side effects.

This is exactly where the Rezum procedure plays a game-changing role.

What Is the Rezum Procedure? A Breakthrough BPH Solution

The Rezum procedure is a modern, minimally invasive therapy that uses water vapor energy (steam) to shrink excess prostate tissue. Instead of cutting, removing, or burning tissue surgically, the Rezum system converts radiofrequency energy into steam and delivers it directly into the enlarged prostate zones.

When the steam enters the prostate tissue, it spreads naturally through the cellular spaces. As the steam condenses back to water, it releases stored thermal energy, which gently destroys the targeted prostate cells that are obstructing urinary flow. Over the next several weeks, the body absorbs and eliminates this treated tissue, gradually reducing prostate size and relieving symptoms.

What makes this procedure unique is its simplicity, precision, and natural approach. The treatment is done entirely through the urethra using a slender device — meaning no external cuts, no surgical incision, and minimal trauma.

J R Nathan Urology Clinic is one of the few centers offering this modern therapy with high precision and patient comfort under expert supervision.

Why J R Nathan Urology Clinic Recommends Rezum

The Rezum treatment has transformed the landscape of BPH management, and the J R Nathan Urology Clinic strongly advocates this innovative therapy due to its numerous advantages.
