Rezum (Water Therapy Singapore)

Rezum™ Water Vapour Therapy uses the natural energy of water vapour (steam) to shrink excess prostate tissue. During the procedure, small amounts of steam are precisely delivered into the enlarged prostate. The thermal energy from the vapour gently destroys the overgrown cells, and over time, the body naturally reabsorbs the treated tissue — resulting in a smaller prostate and improved urine flow.

• An enlarged prostate (typically 30–80cc in size)
• Urinary symptoms such as:
  • Weak or slow urine flow or difficulty starting urination
  • Frequent urination, especially at night
  • Urgency or incomplete bladder emptying
• Side effects or poor response to BPH medication
• Desire to avoid invasive surgery like TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate)

• Minimally invasive — no surgical incision
• Quick recovery and short downtime
• Performed as an outpatient procedure or day surgery
• Preserves sexual and ejaculatory function
• Long-term symptom relief
• Reduced or no need for ongoing prostate medication

• Performed under general anaesthesia
• 3–5 small incisions made depending on the surgery type
• Instruments and camera inserted through ports
• Targeted treatment performed with precision tools
• Incisions closed with sutures or surgical glue

• A temporary urinary catheter may be placed for 5-7 days after the procedure.
• Mild burning during urination, frequency, or a small amount of blood in the urine is common for a few days.
• Most patients resume normal daily activities within 2–3 days.
• Noticeable improvement in symptoms usually begins within 2–4 weeks, with full benefits over 3 months.

• Mild discomfort or burning during urination
• Blood in urine or semen
• Temporary difficulty urinating (may require short-term catheter)
• Urinary tract infection
