Rezum for the treatment of prostate adenoma

Prostate adenoma, or benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlargement) (BPH), occurs in approximately 50% of men by the age of 60 and affects up to 90men by the age of 85.

Symptoms of BPH include:

• frequent urination

• intermittent urine flow

• imperative urge to urinate

• weak urine stream

• straining when urinating

• waking up at night to urinate

These symptoms can significantly affect the quality of life and lead to various complications such as urinary tract infections, bladder stones, acute urinary retention and, in severe cases, kidney failure.

BPH treatment

Traditional treatment methods, such as drug therapy and surgery, do not always produce the desired results The results may have a number of side effects. In recent years, an innovative method of treating prostate adenoma has appeared — the minimally invasive injection steam therapy Rezūm (Rezūm™ Water Vapor Therapy), which is also available in Russia.

What is minimally invasive steam injection therapy?

Minimally invasive steam injection therapy is based on the action of water vapor as a natural energy accumulator. During the treatment session, sterile water vapor is injected into the affected prostate tissue within a few seconds. When the steam is converted back into water, the released energy leads to the death of the affected cells. Over time, in the course of natural healing processes, dead cells are removed from the body, resulting in a decrease in the prostate gland volume. After removing excess tissue, the lumen of the urethra expands, thereby alleviating the symptoms of BPH.

The Rezūm method of minimally invasive steam injection therapy is approved by the FDA and included in the recommendations of the American Urological Association.

The Rezūm method is an innovative and effective approach to the treatment of prostate adenoma, which can significantly improve the quality of life of men suffering from this disease. Its effectiveness and safety have been confirmed by more than five years of successful use in the world. With the development of medical technology, new opportunities are emerging to address the delicate issues of men's health, and the Rezūm method is a prime example of such progress.
