REZUM PROCEDURE

The Rezūm procedure is a minimally invasive treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), using steam to shrink the enlarged prostate and alleviate symptoms. It's a non-surgical option that can be performed in a clinic or outpatient surgery facility. 

Here's a more detailed explanation:

• What it is:
  Rezūm is a water vapor therapy that targets and reduces excess prostate tissue. 

• How it works:
  A special instrument is inserted into the urethra, and sterile water vapor (steam) is injected into the prostate. The steam causes the prostate tissue to die, and the body absorbs and removes the dead tissue over time, shrinking the prostate. 

• Benefits:
  Rezūm offers several advantages over traditional BPH treatments, including a shorter recovery time, fewer side effects, and the potential to preserve sexual function.
