Steam therapy, also known as water vapor thermal therapy or Rezūm therapy, is a minimally invasive treatment for enlarged prostates, medically termed as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This therapy involves the use of steam to ablate excess prostate tissue, thereby reducing the size of the prostate and alleviating associated symptoms such as urinary frequency, urgency, weak urine stream, and incomplete bladder emptying.
Rezūm therapy has gained prominence as an effective alternative to traditional treatment options like medications and surgical procedures such as transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) or laser prostatectomy. Unlike these procedures, Rezūm therapy offers several advantages, including a quick outpatient procedure with minimal downtime, and long-lasting relief from BPH symptoms.
