Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a condition that affects a large percentage of men as they age. By the time men reach their 60s, more than half may experience symptoms associated with BPH, such as frequent urination, difficulty in starting and stopping urine flow, and a constant feeling of bladder fullness. While BPH is a benign condition, meaning it isn’t cancerous, the symptoms can significantly impact one’s quality of life.
What is Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)?
BPH occurs when the prostate gland enlarges, leading to compression of the urethra and, subsequently, urinary symptoms. It’s a common condition in men over 50, driven by hormonal changes. While it’s not life-threatening, BPH can cause discomfort and complications if left untreated.
Traditional treatments for BPH include medications to relax the muscles in the prostate or shrink the gland. However, these medications can come with side effects and may not provide long-term relief. Surgery is also an option but is often invasive, requiring a longer recovery time.
Introducing Rezūm Water Vapor Therapy: A Minimally Invasive Solution for BPH
At the SDC Prostate Research & Training Centre in Thrissur, Kerala, we offer a cutting-edge treatment for BPH: Rezūm Water Vapor Therapy. This breakthrough, minimally invasive procedure is designed to provide effective relief from BPH symptoms without the risks and downtime associated with traditional surgeries.
How Rezūm Water Vapor Therapy Works
Rezūm uses the natural energy stored in water vapor (steam) to treat the enlarged prostate tissue that causes BPH symptoms. During the procedure, water vapor is delivered directly into the prostate gland, where it turns into steam and causes the excess prostate cells to shrink. Over time, your body absorbs these treated cells, relieving pressure on the urethra and improving urinary flow.
The procedure itself is quick—usually done within minutes in an outpatient setting—and most men return to normal activities within a few days. One of the key benefits of Rezūm is that it doesn’t require the use of general anesthesia, and it has been shown to provide long-lasting symptom relief while preserving sexual function.

BPH is the enlargement of the prostate gland, a common condition in men as they age. This enlargement can lead to urinary problems, such as frequent urination, difficulty starting urination, and a weak urine stream.
- Frequent need to urinate, especially at night.
- Difficulty starting or stopping urine flow.
- A weak or interrupted urine stream.
- A feeling of incomplete bladder emptying.
- In some cases, blood in the urine.
Diagnosis is typically made through a combination of patient history, a physical exam (including a digital rectal exam), and tests such as a urine flow study, ultrasound, or PSA (prostate-specific antigen) test.
Rezūm is a minimally invasive procedure that uses the natural energy of water vapor (steam) to shrink excess prostate tissue causing BPH. It offers a non-surgical option for men seeking relief from their symptoms.
During the procedure, water vapor is injected into the enlarged prostate tissue. The heat from the vapor causes the excess cells to die and get absorbed by the body over time, shrinking the prostate and relieving pressure on the urethra.
The procedure itself typically takes around 10-15 minutes and can be done in a doctor’s office or outpatient setting.
The procedure is generally well-tolerated, and your doctor will use a local anesthetic to minimize discomfort. Some patients may experience mild discomfort after the procedure, but this usually resolves quickly.
Most patients are able to return to their normal activities within a few days. Your doctor will provide specific guidelines based on your individual case.
Some men may experience temporary side effects such as blood in the urine, mild discomfort during urination, or increased urinary frequency. These symptoms usually resolve within a few weeks.
Rezūm Water Vapor Therapy is designed to preserve sexual function, with a low risk of affecting erectile function or ejaculation, which can be a concern with some other BPH treatments.
Clinical studies have shown that Rezūm provides long-lasting relief from BPH symptoms, with significant improvement for many patients up to five years after the procedure.
Rezūm is covered by many insurance plans, but it’s important to check with your provider to confirm coverage based on your specific policy.
