Overiew of the Rezum Water Vapor Therapy
Dr. Rahul Mehan
Rezūm™ Water Vapor Therapy is a non-surgical treatment for men 50 years or older that can be performed in a doctor’s office. Rezūm Therapy uses the energy stored in water vapor to reduce the size of the prostate, providing lasting BPH symptom relief while preserving sexual and urinary function.[v] Patients who receive Rezūm Therapy can typically resume normal activities within a few days after treatment and most patients see symptom improvement within two weeks.5
