Prostate Treatment with Rezum Water Therapy

Prostate health issues, particularly benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or prostate enlargement, affect a significant number of men globally, especially as they age. Traditionally, the management of this condition has relied on medications and, when necessary, surgical interventions. However, these approaches often come with undesirable side effects, including sexual dysfunction, making them less appealing for younger or sexually active patients.

Enter Rezum Water Therapy, a groundbreaking solution that promises effective results without the complications commonly associated with conventional treatments. This innovative therapy is now available at the Asian Institute of Nephrology and Urology (AINU) in Hyderabad, marking a significant step forward in prostate care.

Addressing the Limitations of Conventional Treatments

Medications for BPH are often the first line of treatment. They can effectively manage symptoms in the short term but may lose efficacy over time. For patients requiring surgery, the risks include erectile dysfunction and ejaculatory issues—concerns that can significantly affect quality of life.

Dr. C. Mallikarjuna, Managing Director and Chief Consultant Urologist at AINU, highlights these challenges. “While medications can delay surgery, their effectiveness wanes with time. Moreover, surgical procedures carry a higher risk of sexual health complications, which can be distressing for younger patients.”

This is where Rezum Water Therapy steps in as a game-changer. By leveraging the natural energy of steam, it targets and shrinks excess prostate tissue, relieving urinary tract compression without invasive surgery.

How Rezum Water Therapy Works

Rezum Water Therapy uses water vapor delivered through injections into the enlarged prostate. The steam effectively destroys the excess tissue, which is then absorbed by the body over time. The entire process is minimally invasive and performed under local anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort.

Key benefits include:

• Rapid results: Patients typically notice improvement within 15 days to a month.
• Minimal side effects: Unlike traditional treatments, Rezum Therapy does not impact erectile function or ejaculation.
• Single-session efficiency: In most cases, one session suffices, with rare instances requiring a second.

For individuals with heart conditions or those on blood-thinning medications, Rezum Water Therapy offers a safer alternative. Unlike surgeries, which necessitate discontinuing these medications, Rezum requires only minimal adjustments.

Who Can Benefit from Rezum Water Therapy?

This therapy is ideal for young to middle-aged men with moderate prostate enlargement. However, as Dr. Mallikarjuna explains, it may not be suitable for all cases, particularly for patients with significantly enlarged prostates or complications.

Patients undergoing the procedure are typically prescribed antibiotics and pain relievers post-treatment and may require a catheter for up to 10 days. Despite these minor requirements, the overall recovery process is faster and less cumbersome than with surgical options.

AINU’s Commitment to Advanced Care
