Non-surgical, in-office relief for frequent urination, weak stream, and nighttime bathroom trips
If you’re dealing with urinary symptoms from an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH), you may feel like your life revolves around the nearest restroom. Rezūm Water Vapor Therapy is a minimally invasive, in-office treatment that uses the natural energy stored in water vapor (steam) to reduce excess prostate tissue and improve urinary flow—without major surgery.
At Prestige Medical Group, our urology team offers Rezūm as an option for men who want symptom relief with a minimally invasive approach.
Call (949) 825-7650 or request an appointment to find out if Rezūm is right for you.
What is Rezūm Water Vapor Therapy?
Rezūm is a minimally invasive BPH treatment performed in the office. During treatment, controlled doses of sterile water vapor are delivered into the enlarged prostate tissue. When the vapor turns back into water, it releases energy that causes the targeted tissue to break down. Over time, your body reabsorbs the treated tissue, which can help open the urinary channel and reduce symptoms.
What symptoms can Rezūm help with?
BPH symptoms (also called lower urinary tract symptoms) may include:
- Frequent urination
- Urgency (sudden strong need to urinate)
- Waking up at night to urinate (nocturia)
- Weak stream
- Hesitancy or straining
- Stopping and starting during urination
- Feeling like you can’t fully empty your bladder
If these symptoms are affecting sleep, travel, work, or confidence—an evaluation with a urology provider can help determine the cause and best treatment.
Benefits of Rezūm
Rezūm may be a great fit for men who want an effective, minimally invasive alternative to long-term medications or more invasive procedures.
Potential benefits include:
- In-office procedure (no hospital stay)
- Minimally invasive with no incisions
- Targets the cause of symptoms: excess prostate tissue
- Many patients return to normal routines relatively quickly
- Can reduce dependence on daily BPH medications (for appropriate candidates)
Results vary, and candidacy depends on your anatomy, symptom severity, and health history.
What to expect: consultation, procedure, and recovery
Step 1: Your BPH Evaluation
Your consultation may include:
- Symptom review and quality-of-life assessment
- Urinalysis and medical history
- Prostate evaluation (which may include imaging or cystoscopy if needed)
- Discussion of treatment options (medications, Rezūm, UroLift®, TURP, etc.)
Step 2: The Rezūm Procedure
Rezūm is typically performed in-office with local anesthesia and comfort measures. Treatment is brief, and you’ll go home the same day.
Step 3: Healing and Improvement
After the procedure, it’s common for urinary symptoms to temporarily fluctuate while healing occurs. Improvement often develops gradually as the body reabsorbs treated tissue.
Some patients may require a temporary catheter depending on their situation—your provider will review this with you in advance.
Who is a good candidate for Rezūm?
You may be a candidate if you:
- Have bothersome urinary symptoms from BPH
- Want an option that is minimally invasive
- Prefer an in-office treatment and want to avoid major surgery
- Have not achieved adequate relief from medication or wish to avoid long-term medication use
The best way to know is to schedule a consultation so we can confirm the source of symptoms and review your prostate anatomy.
