BPH is extra prostate tissue that can affect your ability to urinate properly. Symptoms include extra urgency, irregular flow, weak stream, straining and frequent night visits. Rezum Therapy is a safe, effective alternative, with a simple out-patient therapy, applying the stored thermal energy in water vapour (steam) to the extra prostate tissue.
BPH Therapy is for men with prostatic urethra lengths > 2.0cm and prostate volumes > 20cm3. It can also be used to treat prostates with a median lobe or elevated central zone tissue.
If your Therapy for BPH with Self Pay Surgery is a success, you’ll have preserved sexual and urinary functions.
Therapy for BPH requires general anaesthesia and takes just under an hour.
You should be able to go home the same day.
As long as you avoid activities that may irritate your prostate, you should be able to return to normal activities within a few days and notice significant improvements within 2 weeks.
