This innovative, minimally invasive treatment uses the natural power of steam to shrink the prostate and restore a healthy urinary flow.
Rezūm is a NICE-approved minimally invasive procedure designed to treat Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). Unlike conventional surgery that cuts or scrapes prostate tissue, Rezūm uses thermal energy in the form of water vapour (steam) to target the overgrown prostate cells.

How It Works: The Science of Steam
The procedure is quick, simple, and typically performed under a brief general anaesthetic or light sedation:
1. Targeted Delivery: A specialised device is inserted through the urethra to reach the prostate.
2. Steam Injection: Controlled doses of water vapour are injected into the obstructive prostate tissue for 9 seconds at a time.
3. Cellular Death: When the steam hits the tissue, it releases stored thermal energy, causing the excess prostate cells to die.
4. Natural Absorption: Over the next few weeks, the body’s natural healing process absorbs the treated tissue, shrinking the prostate and opening the urinary channel.

Benefits of Rezūm Therapy

• Preserves Sexual Function: One of the biggest advantages of Rezūm is that it is specifically designed to maintain erectile and ejaculatory function.
• Quick Procedure: The entire treatment usually takes less than 20 minutes and is performed as an ambulatory or day case procedure.
• Fast Recovery: Most men return to regular activities within a few days.
• Alternative to Medication: Rezūm allows many patients to stop taking BPH medications, avoiding side effects like dizziness, fatigue or dry ejaculation.
