What exactly occurs with the Rezum Treatment?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nHere’s how it works:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n- Rezum therapy can be performed in a clinic or as out-patient therapy. \u00a0
<\/li> - Oral pain medications are given one hour before the procedure. Light sedation (local anesthesia) may be offered instead. \u00a0
<\/li> - A probe is entered into the urethra<\/a> to the level of the prostate. \u00a0
<\/li>- A few drops of water are added to a handheld device used specifically for this treatment purpose. \u00a0
<\/li> - Radiofrequency energy activates the water, which stores the energy. \u00a0
<\/li> - The water is heated up to become steam. \u00a0
<\/li> - The steamy water vapor is injected into the prostate tissue, especially in the area where the urine flow has been blocked. \u00a0
<\/li> - The vapor changes its form back to liquid water. During this time, the energy passes into the cell membrane. \u00a0
<\/li> - Six mild warming sensations are felt, and the procedure is over in about 10 minutes. \u00a0
<\/li> - Cells that received the energy die. \u00a0
<\/li> - A catheter<\/a> is inserted and will stay in for only a few days. (This depends on the discretion of the doctor). \u00a0
<\/li>- The body then absorbs the dead cells, detoxifying the area. \u00a0
<\/li> - The enlarged prostate shrinks in time (29% in six months). <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
What happens to the symptoms of BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia)?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nYou’re probably wondering, “Well, what about the BPH<\/a> symptoms? Do they improve or not?”.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe answer is yes, they do. In fact, in most men, there’s a noticeable improvement in urinary symptoms<\/a> within two weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPatients report that they won’t get up during the night as much within a very few weeks. Getting up during the night is disruptive for your sleep. And without a good night of sleep, you age faster than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Patients report they’re a lot happier because the nagging urinary tract symptoms (luts) are gone. Full effects are seen within 4-6 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your next question may be, “What about urination and sexual intercourse?” Are these disrupted in any way, shape, or form?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The answer is no; they remain intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\nSide effects of the procedure<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThere are a few side effects of the procedure:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Blood in the urine<\/a>
<\/li>- Sperm in the urine
<\/li> - Pain or discomfort
<\/li> - Increased desire to urinate<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
These side effects resolve shortly after the procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your doctor may tell you to continue taking the remainder of your Flomax medication after the procedure, but this depends on your doctor’s recommendation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rezum was created because doctors weren’t happy about the other invasive treatment available for the treatment of prostate enlargement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In contrast with other minimally invasive procedures that use heat transfer, such as transurethral needle ablation or transurethral microwave therapy<\/a> (TUMT), the mechanism of action for the Rezum system uses the principles of convective heat transfer that exploits the thermodynamic properties of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nWhat do the studies say about Rezum?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nA UK study published in 2018 reported on a 5-year follow-up of the results of Rezum treatments showed an improvement of symptoms\/ symptom relief on the international scale (called the IPSS<\/a>) from 19.4 to 8.6. This is pretty significant!<\/p>\n\n\n\nRetreatment rates were between 3 and 5%, but no cases of ejaculatory dysfunction were caused by the method. In fact, the scientists reported that the ejaculatory bother to score improved by 31% compared with baseline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Twenty-seven percent of the patients studied achieved clinically relevant differences in erectile dysfunction in one year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, Rezum treatment won’t sample the tissue of the prostate for prostate cancer. The TURP method<\/a>, on the other hand, finds anywhere from 4.1 to 16.7% of the cases. Thus, Rezum is not particularly suitable for those men who have urinary retention or have a large prostate<\/a> volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nHow to find a doctor that does Rezum treatment<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nSince not all patients are chosen for the procedure, it’s best to check with a qualified health practitioner that can discuss the Rezum treatment with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nConclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The problem with most surgical procedures is that they damage the prostate and therefore cause short or even long-term consequences euphemistically referred to as side effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The only difference between them is that they use different technologies. It doesn’t matter how you damage the prostate; it is damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Exceptions to this are uro lift<\/a> since it just relieves pressure on the urethra, but even that is still an invasive procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
