hyperplasia (BPH), or an enlarged prostate. In fact, over 90% of men by age
85 will experience BPH. Prostate growth is a natural result of getting
older. The urethra goes through the prostate, so as the prostate grows,
some men experience difficulty peeing as well as other bothersome symptoms
Men may try lifestyle changes or medications to manage their BPH. Commonly
prescribed medications for BPH including R ezūmTM Water Vapor Therapy
Vapor Therapy is a minimally-invasive procedure for men 50 years or
older that uses the natural energy stored in water vapor, or steam, to
shrink an enlarged prostate. Rezūm Therapy removes the obstructing prostate
tissue that causes your uncomfortable urination symptoms, so you can pee
freely again.4-6
The procedure consists of 9-second treatments in which sterile water
vapor is released throughout the targeted prostate tissue. When the steam
contacts the prostate tissue, all the stored energy is released into the
tissue. Then over time, your body’s natural healing response absorbs the
treated tissue, shrinking the prostate. With the extra tissue removed, the
urethra opens, reducing BPH symptoms.
