Rezum uses the natural energy stored in water vapor (steam) to treat excess prostate tissue causing BPH symptoms. Unlike procedures that use lasers, electrical current, or permanent implants, Rezum harnesses a completely natural form of thermal energy. The treatment takes just minutes, requires no incisions, and works by delivering precise doses of water vapor directly into the enlarged prostate tissue. Over the following weeks, the body naturally absorbs the treated tissue, opening up the urinary channel and providing lasting relief.
During the procedure, sterile water vapor is delivered through a small needle inserted into the targeted prostate tissue. Each 9-second treatment releases thermal energy that gently disrupts the cell membranes of the excess tissue. The body's natural healing process then gradually removes this treated tissue over 2-3 months, resulting in reduced prostate volume and improved urinary flow. The precision of Rezum allows Dr. Singh to target specific areas while protecting surrounding healthy tissue and structures critical for sexual function.
Rezum is particularly beneficial for men aged 45-80 with moderate to severe BPH symptoms who haven't responded adequately to medications, want to avoid major surgery or permanent implants, are sexually active and want to preserve sexual function, or cannot tolerate long-term medication side effects. Rezum works effectively for prostate sizes ranging from 30-80 grams, including prostates with a troublesome median lobe that protrudes into the bladder.
Before your Rezum treatment, Dr. Singh conducts a thorough evaluation including symptom assessment, prostate examination, and imaging to map your prostate anatomy. You’ll receive detailed instructions about medications to pause temporarily and what to expect. On procedure day, you’ll arrive at the outpatient center, where local anesthesia and light sedation are administered for your comfort. The entire visit typically takes 2-3 hours including preparation and recovery time.
Using a specialized device inserted through the urethra, Dr. Singh delivers precise 9-second bursts of water vapor into the targeted prostate tissue. The number of treatments depends on your prostate size—typically 4-8 applications covering different zones. You may feel warmth or pressure during each treatment, but the local anesthesia minimizes discomfort. The entire treatment portion takes only 10-15 minutes. No tissue is cut or removed during the procedure.
After treatment, you’ll rest briefly in the recovery area while the anesthesia wears off. A temporary catheter is typically placed to help with urination during the initial healing phase—this usually stays in for 3-7 days, depending on your individual response. You’ll go home the same day with detailed care instructions, medications to manage discomfort, and a follow-up schedule. Most patients rest at home for 2-3 days before gradually resuming normal activities.
This innovative approach uses natural thermal energy to achieve significant, lasting symptom improvement. Clinical studies show 50-60% reduction in symptom scores that is maintained for 5+ years. Rezum offers minimal sexual side effects (less than 5% risk of ejaculatory changes), no permanent implants, and the ability to treat median lobe enlargement effectively. Recovery takes 2-4 weeks with gradual improvement continuing for 2-3 months. Primary Advantages: Natural energy source, treats median lobe, minimal sexual impact, no implants, durable results, outpatient procedure.
UroLift mechanically holds prostate tissue aside using permanent implants. While offering faster symptom relief with excellent sexual function preservation, it involves multiple permanent devices remaining in the body and may not effectively address median lobe problems. Rezum achieves comparable or superior long-term results through tissue reduction without permanent foreign bodies.
Traditional surgical options provide excellent symptom relief (60-80% improvement) but involve significant tissue destruction, longer recovery (4-6 weeks), higher risk of sexual side effects (60-80% retrograde ejaculation risk), and typically require general anesthesia with hospital admission. These remain the gold standard for very large prostates but are more invasive than needed for most men.
Minimal impact on sexual functionclinical trials show less than 5% risk of ejaculatory changes and virtually no risk of erectile dysfunction.
Uses only water vapor (steam) no lasers, no electrical energy, no cutting blades. The thermal energy dissipates naturally without leaving anything behind.
Unlike some alternatives, Rezum effectively treats median lobe enlargement that protrudes into the bladder a common cause of persistent symptoms.
Clinical data demonstrates sustained symptom improvement for 5+ years, with many patients experiencing benefits well beyond this timeframe.

Rezum provides substantial symptom relief with clinical studies showing 50-60% reduction in prostate symptom scores that is maintained for at least 5 years. While TURP may offer slightly greater symptom reduction (60-80%), Rezum achieves meaningful, durable improvement without the higher risks of sexual side effects, bleeding complications, or extended recovery time associated with surgery. For most men with moderate to severe BPH, Rezum offers an excellent balance of effectiveness, safety, and quality of life preservation. The procedure is particularly valuable for men who want to avoid major surgery while still achieving significant, lasting relief.
Rezum has one of the best sexual function preservation profiles among BPH treatments. Clinical trials show less than 5% risk of ejaculatory dysfunction and virtually no impact on erectile function. This is dramatically lower than traditional surgery (60-80% retrograde ejaculation risk) and even better than some laser procedures. The precision of water vapor delivery protects the nerves and structures responsible for sexual function. Most sexually active men choose Rezum specifically because it provides significant symptom relief without compromising intimate health. This makes it ideal for men who want effective treatment while maintaining their quality of life in all aspects.
The temporary catheter is placed because the treated prostate tissue swells initially before the body begins absorbing it, which can temporarily obstruct urine flow. The catheter ensures you can urinate comfortably during this critical healing phase, typically for 3-7 days. While having a catheter isn’t ideal, this brief inconvenience is worthwhile given Rezum’s long-term benefits and minimal side effects. Dr. Singh monitors your progress closely and removes the catheter as soon as your body is ready—some patients need it for just 3 days, while others benefit from keeping it slightly longer. This temporary measure prevents complications and ensures a smooth recovery.
Rezum works gradually as your body naturally absorbs the treated tissue. You may notice some improvement within 2-4 weeks, but peak results typically occur at 2-3 months. During the first few weeks, you might actually experience worse symptoms as the tissue swells and then begins to break down—this is completely normal and temporary. By 6-8 weeks, most patients report significant improvement, and by 3 months, you should experience maximum benefit. The gradual timeline reflects the natural healing process and is actually an advantage—your body is doing the work of removing tissue in a controlled, safe manner rather than through surgical excision.
Yes this is one of Rezum’s unique advantages. The median lobe is the portion of the prostate that can protrude upward into the bladder, causing particularly troublesome symptoms like incomplete bladder emptying and urgency. Many minimally invasive treatments struggle with median lobe enlargement, but Rezum can precisely target this area with water vapor. Dr. Singh can deliver treatment directly to the median lobe tissue, achieving excellent results even in cases where the anatomy is challenging. This versatility makes Rezum suitable for a wider range of prostate configurations compared to some alternative procedures.
Clinical data shows Rezum results last at least 5 years, with many patients experiencing benefits well beyond this timeframe. However, because BPH is a progressive condition, some men may eventually need additional treatment as they age and the prostate continues to enlarge. The good news is that Rezum doesn’t “burn bridges”—if you need further treatment years later, you have all options available including repeat Rezum, medication, other minimally invasive procedures, or surgery. The procedure doesn’t create scar tissue or anatomical changes that would complicate future interventions. This flexibility is reassuring for younger patients who want effective treatment now while keeping all doors open for the future.
Insurance coverage for Rezum is increasingly common as the procedure gains recognition in India. Many insurance companies cover Rezum under their minimally invasive BPH treatment provisions, though some may require prior authorization or documentation of failed medication therapy. Our administrative team has extensive experience working with insurance providers to secure approval for advanced urological treatments. We’ll work directly with your insurance company, provide necessary medical documentation, and advocate for coverage approval. We also provide transparent cost estimates upfront and can discuss payment options if insurance coverage requires supplementation. The investment is often justified by Rezum’s unique combination of effectiveness, minimal side effects, and quality of life preservation.
