Virtually anyone has a pretty good idea of how it feels when you want to urinate but you can’t find a restroom that’s close enough, which then forces you to hold it in. Imagine letting go of any control, but not being able to let it out. Dr. Cletus Georges says that this is the predicament of men who have Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.

The good news is that this condition can be solved by Rezum.

An enlarged prostate can compress the urethra, which reduces the flow of urine from the bladder, even blocking it entirely in extreme cases. BPH symptoms may include urinary frequency, irregular flow, weak stream, straining, and getting up at night to urinate.
Rezum Water Vapor Therapy makes use of sterile water vapor which is released throughout a targeted prostate tissue. When the steam gets into contact with the prostate tissue, the prostate shrinks, as described by Dr. Cletus Georges. In a matter of seconds, this technology can destroy the problematic prostate tissue without harming the surrounding tissue, which then results in a significant amount of relief on the part of the patient.
The procedure does not take long and it can be done at the doctor’s clinic in a single appointment. Rezum is an absolutely superb option to consider before resorting to more invasive methods like penile surgery. Rezum Water Vapor Therapy
