Rezum Water Vapour Therapy: A Minimally Invasive Approach for Enlarged Prostate in Ageing Men

Mar 4, 2026

Enlargement of the prostate is a common concern after the age of 50. As explained by Dr Waheedu Zzaman, Senior Director – Urology & Renal Transplantation, Max Super Speciality Hospital, Shalimar Bagh, Rezūm is a minimally invasive water vapour therapy performed endoscopically through the urethra. Suitable for prostate sizes between 40–80 grams, controlled steam at 113°C is delivered into the prostate tissue, causing it to shrink gradually over 4–6 weeks. As the gland reduces size, urinary flow improves, and symptoms reduce significantly. This is especially beneficial for elderly patients and those who are unfit for major surgery.
