Prostate health is a crucial aspect of men’s well-being, especially as they age. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), or enlarged prostate, is a common condition that affects millions of men worldwide, causing urinary problems and affecting the quality of life. Thankfully, medical advancements have introduced Rezum Therapy, a minimally invasive solution that provides effective relief from BPH symptoms.
At JR Nathan Urology, we are dedicated to providing world-class urological care across Kerala. Our expert team utilizes the latest technology and treatment methods, including Rezum Therapy, to ensure patient comfort and optimal outcomes.
What is Rezum Therapy?
Rezum Therapy is a minimally invasive, water vapor therapy designed to treat an enlarged prostate. It uses steam injections to target and reduce excess prostate tissue, improving urinary flow and reducing BPH symptoms. Unlike traditional surgeries, Rezum Therapy is performed on an outpatient basis, does not require extensive hospital stays, and has a significantly lower risk of complications.
Benefits of Rezum Therapy
Minimally invasive with no major surgery
Short recovery time – most patients return to normal activities in a few days
Preserves sexual function
Reduces urinary urgency, frequency, and weak stream
Effective long-term solution for BPH
Who is a Candidate for Rezum Therapy?
Rezum Therapy is suitable for men experiencing moderate to severe BPH symptoms. Ideal candidates include:
Men with trouble urinating
Frequent nighttime urination (nocturia)
Weak urine stream
Difficulty starting or stopping urination
Men seeking a minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgery
A thorough evaluation by a urology specialist is necessary to determine the suitability of Rezum Therapy.
Rezum Therapy Procedure
The procedure is quick and typically takes less than an hour. It is performed under local anesthesia, with minimal discomfort. Here’s a step-by-step overview:
Preparation: Patients are evaluated, and anesthesia is administered.
Insertion of the Rezum Device: A small device is inserted into the urethra.
Steam Injection: Controlled steam injections target enlarged prostate tissue.
Tissue Reduction: Over time, treated tissue shrinks, relieving urinary symptoms.
Post-Procedure Care: Patients can usually return home the same day.
Recovery and Results
Most patients experience relief within a few weeks, with full improvement over 2–3 months. Because Rezum Therapy is minimally invasive:
Hospital stay is not required
Catheterization is rarely needed
Patients can resume normal activities quickly
Follow-up visits ensure optimal results and monitor urinary function.
