Rezūm Water Vapour Therapy in Faridabad
The Rezūm water vapour therapy treatment is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that is used to treat symptoms in men with an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH). It uses natural water vapour energy to treat prostate tissue, which shrinks over time as the body absorbs it naturally.
Men in Faridabad looking for a urologist evaluation regarding prostate health can visit ILSS Ashwani Hospital to find out about available diagnostic procedures, medications and minimally invasive treatment options including Rezūm therapy.
Centre of Excellence in Rezūm Therapy
Specialised convective thermal energy therapy for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) without cutting or heating healthy surrounding tissues.
What Is Rezūm Therapy?
Rezūm therapy is a modern, minimally invasive treatment designed to treat moderate-to-severe urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate (BPH).
The procedure uses natural thermal energy stored in water vapour. A specialized handpiece delivers small targeted bursts of sterile steam directly into the obstructive prostate tissue. As the steam condenses into water, its stored heat energy gently disrupts the targeted prostate cells without harming surrounding nerves or sphincters.
Over the subsequent weeks, your body's natural healing response absorbs the treated cells, reducing the overall volume of the prostate gland, opening the urinary channel, and restoring smooth urine flow.
Water vapour disperses only through tissue interstitial spaces, stopping cleanly at anatomical capsule boundaries.
The treated prostate cells are gradually broken down and absorbed by the body's immune scavengers over 6–12 weeks.
When Is Rezūm Therapy Recommended?
Rezūm therapy may be recommended for men experiencing moderate to severe urinary symptoms who meet the following clinical criteria:
Frequent urination, weak stream, nocturia, straining, or incomplete bladder emptying caused by benign prostatic enlargement.
Men wishing to stop daily medications (alpha-blockers or 5-ARIs) due to dizziness, fatigue, or sexual side effects.
Patients who strongly prioritize preserving their erectile, ejaculatory, and sexual function without retrograde ejaculation risks.
Men with small to moderate prostate enlargement, including those with challenging obstructive median lobe tissue.
Patients who wish to avoid general anaesthesia, hospital admission, or invasive surgical resections due to health concerns.
Men looking for a quick, 15-minute daycare procedure with rapid return to non-strenuous daily activities within a few days.
How Is Rezūm Water Vapour Therapy Performed?
Carried out as a comfortable daycare procedure under local anaesthesia and light oral sedation:
Preparation & Anaesthesia
The patient is made comfortable using local anaesthetic instillation or mild oral sedation. No general anaesthesia is necessary.
- Conducted in our modular daycare procedural suite
- Continuous vital sign and comfort monitoring
- Prophylactic antibiotics administered
- Zero abdominal incisions required
Transurethral Access & Delivery
A specialized cystoscopic delivery handpiece is gently introduced through the urethra to visualize the obstructing prostate lobes.
- High-definition direct visual optical guidance
- Small retractable needle extends into targeted tissue
- Each steam injection lasts exactly 9 seconds
- Typically 4 to 6 total injections per procedure
Post-Procedure & Same-Day Discharge
Following the 10–15 minute procedure, a temporary urinary catheter is placed to allow comfortable healing while the initial swelling resolves.
- Immediate recovery in our daycare recovery lounge
- Discharge to home within 1–2 hours
- Catheter removed after a few days in clinic
- Symptom relief begins progressively at 2–4 weeks
Potential Benefits of Rezūm Therapy at ILSS
Rezūm water vapour therapy represents a breakthrough bridge between long-term prescription pills and invasive prostate surgeries like TURP. It treats the obstructive tissue effectively while preserving the natural anatomy of the urinary sphincter and neurovascular bundles.
Clinical studies demonstrate durable symptom relief for up to 5 years or more, with over 96% of men preserving normal ejaculatory function.
Rezūm vs UroLift vs HoLEP
Understanding how Rezūm compares with other modern prostate procedures available at ILSS:
| Feature / Metric | Rezūm Therapy | UroLift System | HoLEP Laser Surgery |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mechanism of Action | Thermal water vapour energy dissolves cells | Permanent micro-implants lift & pin tissue | Laser enucleation excises obstructing tissue |
| Prostate Size Range | Ideal for 30g – 80g prostates | Ideal for 30g – 80g (no large median lobe) | Suitable for any size (even >100g) |
| Sexual Function Preservation | High (>96% preserve ejaculation) | High (Preserves ejaculation & erections) | Erections preserved; retrograde ejaculation common |
| Anaesthesia Required | Local anaesthesia or oral sedation | Local anaesthesia or light sedation | Spinal or General Anaesthesia |
| Hospital Stay | Outpatient / Daycare (1–2 hours) | Outpatient / Daycare (1–2 hours) | 1–2 Days Inpatient Observation |
| Symptom Improvement | Gradual over 2 to 12 weeks | Rapid within 2 to 4 weeks | Immediate post-catheter removal |

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions regarding Rezūm water vapour therapy, recovery, and outcomes answered by our urologists.
Rezūm therapy is a minimally invasive solution for certain men suffering from enlarged prostates. It employs energy delivered through water vapour to treat prostate tissue that will shrink over time as it is absorbed by the body.
Rezūm will provide its effects gradually, since the body will need time to absorb the treated tissue. Most men notice initial flow improvement within 2 to 4 weeks, with maximum urinary benefits achieved by 8 to 12 weeks.
No, the process does not involve physical cutting or removal of the prostate tissue, but rather treatment of the tissue using water vapour energy, which the body will later absorb naturally.
Yes. Because the natural response to thermal energy involves temporary tissue swelling, a temporary urinary catheter is typically required for approximately 3 to 7 days to ensure smooth urination while initial swelling subsides.
One of the primary benefits of Rezūm therapy is that it preserves sexual function. Clinical studies show that more than 96% of men preserve natural ejaculatory function and experience zero adverse impact on erectile rigidity.
The cost depends on pre-operative investigations, the single-use Rezūm handpiece, and daycare hospital facility charges. Detailed individualized cost estimates are provided following clinical evaluation.
Yes. Unlike certain other minimally invasive implants that cannot be placed in the central zone, Rezūm therapy is FDA-cleared and clinically proven to effectively treat enlarged median lobe tissue as well as lateral lobes.
