Rezum - Water Vapor Therapy

At Andrología Málaga, we offer Rezūm, a minimally invasive treatment that uses water vapor to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), relieving urinary symptoms with a quick recovery and without traditional surgery.

What is Rezum or water vapor therapy?

Rezūm is an innovative, fast, and safe treatment designed to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a common condition that causes the prostate to enlarge and can lead to urinary difficulties such as urgency, a weak urine stream, or a feeling of incomplete bladder emptying.

This procedure uses hot water vapor to target the enlarged prostate tissue directly, effectively reducing its size without the need for invasive surgery. Thanks to its minimally invasive nature, patients can experience a faster recovery and less discomfort compared with other traditional treatments.

In Málaga, Dr. Rodrigo España, a specialist in andrology, performs this therapy with the utmost precision and care, offering patients an effective solution to improve their quality of life and relieve urinary symptoms associated with BPH.

Ideal candidate for Rezum

If you experience bothersome symptoms such as difficulty urinating, frequent urgency, a weak urine stream, or a feeling that your bladder does not empty completely, Rezūm may be an option for you.

This treatment is particularly suitable if your prostate is small to moderately enlarged, generally up to 80 grams, although in some cases it can be used for prostates of up to 150 grams following a thorough medical assessment.

Rezūm is ideal if you are looking for a minimally invasive solution that allows for a quick recovery while avoiding the risks and discomfort associated with traditional surgery.

It is not recommended if you have prostate cancer, an active urinary tract infection, or any medical condition that prevents the procedure from being performed.

Frequently asked questions about Rezum

How Is the procedure performed?

The treatment is not painful. Local anaesthesia ensures that you remain comfortable throughout the procedure. You may experience mild discomfort afterwards, but it usually subsides quickly.

How long does the procedure take?

The Rezūm procedure usually takes between 5 and 15 minutes, depending on the size of the prostate and the number of steam treatments required.

When will I see results?

You will typically begin to notice an improvement in your symptoms within 2 to 4 weeks after the treatment, although the improvement may continue to progress for 3 to 6 months following Rezūm.

Is more than one treatment necessary?

Most patients require only one treatment session. However, some may need additional follow-up if their symptoms do not improve completely.

Will I need to continue taking medication?

After Rezūm, many patients may be able to reduce or even stop their medication, but this is assessed on a case-by-case basis.
