Rezum treatment is a minimally invasive method used in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This treatment reduces the enlarged prostate tissue that narrows the urinary tract by injecting a controlled amount of steam (thermal energy) into the prostate tissue. The steam causes controlled cell death in the prostate cells, resulting in tissue shrinkage. This reduces pressure on the urinary channel, improves urine flow, and significantly relieves patients' urinary symptoms.
At Healme Clinic, we perform Rezum treatment safely and with patient comfort as a priority, using the latest technology devices and experienced urology specialists. This method, which is completed without surgery and in a short time, is an important innovation that improves patients’ quality of life in BPH treatment.
Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a common health problem in men as they age. Enlargement of the prostate gland narrows the urinary channel and obstructs urine flow. This condition manifests with symptoms such as:
BPH can reduce quality of life and, if left untreated, increase the risk of bladder and kidney damage.
Rezum treatment is an excellent alternative for patients who do not respond to medication, cannot take medication, or are not suitable candidates for surgery. Unlike traditional surgical procedures, it requires minimal anesthesia, and patients can return to their daily lives very quickly.
This method provides an effective solution particularly in mild to moderate cases of BPH and significantly improves patients’ quality of life.
At Healme Clinic, patients undergo a comprehensive evaluation before Rezum treatment. This process includes:
Prostate size, the patient’s overall health status, and severity of symptoms are taken into account to create a personalized treatment plan.
The Rezum procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia or mild sedation. During the procedure, a special Rezum device is inserted into the prostate through the urethra (urinary channel). The device delivers controlled short bursts of steam injections into the prostate tissue.
This steam energy causes thermal damage to prostate cells, resulting in cell death. After cell death, the tissue shrinks, which opens and relaxes the urinary channel.
Rezum treatment takes approximately 10 to 20 minutes. Patients do not experience pain or discomfort during the procedure. After completion, patients are usually discharged the same day and can return to their daily activities shortly after.
Rezum does not require surgical cuts or stitches, posing less risk to patients. It is an ideal method for those who fear surgery or have high surgical risk.
Patients can return to their normal life within a few days after treatment. Pain and discomfort are minimal.
Due to the use of steam energy, the risk of bleeding is very low. Even patients on blood-thinning medications can safely undergo this treatment.
Rezum treatment is applied without damaging the nerves and sensitive areas that affect sexual functions. Thus, adverse effects on erection and ejaculation are minimal.
Studies show that Rezum treatment provides effective and lasting results in the long term. The recurrence rate is much lower compared to traditional surgery.
As with any medical procedure, Rezum treatment may have some side effects, which are generally mild and temporary:
Healme Clinic experts take all necessary precautions to minimize side effects and ensure patient comfort.
