Rezūm Water Vapor Therapy

Rezūm Water Vapor Therapy is a natural alternative to surgery. It treats the cause of your BPH, so you can get back to your life. Rezūm Therapy is typically performed during one visit at your urologist’s office, or at an outpatient surgery facility.

How Rezūm Water Vapor Therapy works

Sterile water vapor, or steam, is released throughout the targeted prostate tissue in 9-second intervals. This precise technology destroys enlarged prostate tissue while minimizing any effect on surrounding tissue.

Over time, your body’s natural healing response absorbs the treated tissue, shrinking the prostate. With the extra tissue removed, the urethra opens, reducing BPH symptoms. Most patients begin to experience symptom relief in as soon as 2 weeks, and maximum benefit may occur within 3 months.

Dr. Ryan E. Frankel was among the first in the area to use the Rezūm procedure for BPH.

Dr. Frankel’s men’s seminar covers benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), including an overview of prostate anatomy, common symptoms, and key statistics related to the condition. The seminar also provides an in-depth discussion of Rezūm™ water vapor therapy, explaining how the treatment works and how it can help relieve BPH symptoms.

Benign Prostatic Enlargement (BPH) is the most common urological condition men face and the leading reason that men visit a urologist.

As the prostate enlarges, it presses on and blocks the urethra, causing bothersome urinary symptoms such as:

  • Frequent need to urinate both day and night
  • Weak or slow urinary stream
  • A sense that you cannot completely empty your bladder
  • Difficulty or delay in starting urination
  • Urgent feeling of needing to urinate
  • A urinary stream that stops and starts

Rezūm Water Vapor Therapy is a non-surgical treatment option for your BPH symptoms.​
