Rezum FAQs

Rezum may be partially covered depending on your insurer and individual policy. Our team can help clarify costs and rebates during your consultation.

Rezum offers long-lasting symptom relief. In clinical trials, most men have maintained significant improvements for at least five years. Some may require retreatment in the future, but it is far less likely than with medication alone.

One of the advantages of Rezum is that it is designed to preserve erectile and ejaculatory function. The majority of men report no long-term sexual side effects.

Some men may require a catheter for a few days following the treatment, depending on prostate size and individual response.

Many patients begin to notice improvements within two weeks. However, the full effect typically develops over 6 - 12 weeks as the prostate shrinks and inflammation subsides.

The procedure generally takes 15 to 30 minutes. Most patients go home the same day and resume light activities within 1 - 2 days.

Rezum uses convective water vapour energy to destroy excess prostate tissue in a precise, targeted way. Unlike traditional surgery, there’s no cutting or removal of tissue during the procedure, which results in fewer side effects and faster recovery.
