How Rezum can treat BPH

Through his series of blogs, Cletus Georges, MD, continues to educate readers on his specialization, urology. For this blog, he discusses benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH is a disorder that affects how men urinate. It is caused by an enlarged prostate gland, causing discomfort when urinating. BPH is normally not a serious matter, but it can affect the organs such as the urinary tract or bladder, or even kidneys when left untreated.

An enlarged prostate can push and put pressure on the urethra. This may lead to reduced urine flow. In more advanced cases, it may block urine flow entirely. The experience may also result in men waking up at night to relieve themselves.

Cletus Georges, MD, mentions Rezum and the Rezum Water Vapor Therapy as treatment options for BPH.

Doctors use Rezum Water Vapor Therapy to help reduce swelling in the prostate. The water is sterilized and turned to vapor. It is then released on the prostate, which shrinks the tissue of the organ. It is completely safe for the rest of the organ.

Cletus Georges, MD, also notes that Rezum Water Vapor Therapy can be done during a visit to a clinic and will not take up too much of a patient's time. It is also a treatment that patients can try before opting for more serious procedures such as surgery.
