REZUM Steam Therapy for Enlarged Prostate

 

REZUM steam therapy is a minimally invasive medical procedure used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a common condition among aging men that causes the prostate gland to enlarge and obstruct the urinary tract. This therapy represents an innovative approach to managing BPH, providing relief from bothersome urinary symptoms without the need for traditional surgical interventions.

During a REZUM steam therapy procedure, Dr Menogue uses a specialized device that delivers controlled bursts of steam directly into the prostate tissue. The steam heats and vaporizes the excess prostate tissue, thereby reducing the obstruction and allowing for improved urine flow. This procedure is typically performed in the operating theatre as a day treatment and can be completed in a relatively short amount of time.
One of the key advantages of REZUM steam therapy is its minimal invasiveness, which means it avoids the need for major surgery and the associated risks and recovery time. Patients undergoing this treatment often experience a significant reduction in urinary symptoms such as frequent urination, weak stream, and nocturia. Additionally, the procedure has been shown to preserve sexual function and maintain a low risk of adverse side effects.

REZUM steam therapy offers a promising alternative to traditional surgical treatments for BPH, providing effective relief from urinary symptoms while minimizing the impact on a patient’s overall health and quality of life. It is a valuable option for men seeking a less invasive and highly effective solution for managing their prostate-related urinary issues.
