What is Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)?
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), often known as enlarged prostate, is a disorder that typically affects males, particularly as they age, and is characterised by the expansion of the prostate gland. Urine flow may be disrupted by this enlargement's compression of the urethra. Frequent urination, especially at night, a weak urine stream, trouble initiating urination, a sense of incomplete bladder emptying, and straining during urination are common symptoms. BPH can significantly affect a patient's quality of life if left untreated.
What is Rezum Water Vapour Therapy?
REZUM Water Vapor Therapy is a minimally invasive treatment for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) that uses controlled steam energy to reduce excess prostate tissue and relieve urinary symptoms without requiring open surgery. The number of water vapor treatments varies depending on the size of the prostate.
