BPH is a common condition in aging men where the prostate gland enlarges and can cause urinary symptoms such as increased frequency of urination, urgency, weak urine flow, and sometimes difficulty emptying the bladder completely. Here are some key points about Rezum Water Vapour Therapy: 1. Minimally Invasive Procedure: Rezum Therapy is considered minimally invasive, which means it doesn't require large incisions. This can result in less tissue damage and a potentially quicker recovery compared to traditional surgical methods. 2. Shrinking the Prostate: The primary goal of Rezum Therapy is to reduce the size of the prostate gland. By doing so, it can alleviate the pressure on the urethra and improve urinary symptoms. 3. No General Anesthesia: The procedure typically doesn't require general anesthesia. This can be beneficial for patients who prefer to avoid the risks associated with being under anesthesia. 4. Rapid Recovery: Many patients are able to return to their regular activities within a few days after undergoing Rezum Therapy, although recovery times may vary. 5. Lower Rates of Sexual Side Effects: One notable advantage of Rezum Therapy is its reported lower rates of sexual side effects when compared to some other BPH treatments. This can be a significant consideration for patients concerned about potential impacts on sexual function. 6. Targeted Treatment: Rezum Therapy uses water vapor to deliver targeted energy to the enlarged prostate tissue. This targeted approach aims to minimize damage to surrounding healthy tissue. It's important to note that while Rezum Therapy can be an effective option for certain BPH patients, not all individuals may be suitable candidates. Consulting with a urologist is crucial to determine the most appropriate treatment approach based on individual health conditions and preferences. Overall, Rezum Water Vapour Therapy offers an exciting alternative for men dealing with bothersome urinary symptoms caused by BPH, providing a potential solution with reduced invasiveness and improved recovery times.
