Rezum treats benign prostatic hyperplasia by injecting sterile water vapor (steam) into the enlarged prostate. The heat energy stored in the vapor gently ablates the excess tissue, which the body reabsorbs over the following weeks, opening the channel and easing the flow.
Rezum is a minimally invasive treatment for an enlarged prostate that uses natural water vapor (steam) to shrink excess tissue — typically preserving sexual function, with no formal resection. Smile Urology in Seomyeon, Busan offers Rezum for suitable patients.
