Rezum

What is Rezum?

Rezūm is a minimally invasive treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which is a condition where the prostate gland enlarges and causes urinary symptoms in ageing men. The Rezūm procedure involves using radiofrequency energy to create thermal energy, which is then delivered through a small instrument inserted into the urethra. This energy is used to target and shrink excess prostate tissue, relieving pressure on the urethra and reducing symptoms such as urinary frequency, urgency, weak stream, and incomplete bladder emptying.
