The REZUM system is a minimally invasive treatment for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.
The treatment consists of the application of water vapour with a small device through the urethra. The steam condenses into water within the tissue, releasing heat that destroys the excess prostate cells.
The body naturally reabsorbs the damaged tissue in the weeks following the procedure, relieving urinary obstruction.
Advantages of the REZUM System
1. It is a minimally invasive treatment: No major surgery or general anaesthesia is required. It can be performed under local anaesthesia or mild sedation.
2. Rapid recovery: Patients usually return to normal activities within a few days.
3. Preserves sexual function: In contrast to other treatments, REZUM has a lower risk of causing erectile dysfunction or retrograde ejaculation.
4. Shorter hospitalisation time: It is an outpatient procedure, with no need of hospitalisation.
The REZUM system is indicated for men seeking an effective and less invasive treatment to improve their quality of life, reducing urinary symptoms related to Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.
