The manufaturer has announced that its Rezūm System has been used to safely and effectively treat over 10,000 patients with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) by more than 500 physicians in the United States and Europe.
Rex um is limited to 75 cc prostate and smaller correct? I spoke to my uno about it
He does Rexum. He said at 125 cc I'm too big for this procedure.
Wouldn't it be nice to know what % of those 10,000 are pleased with the results?!
I also would like to know the results?? As I had it done 12/15/16 and still waiting to see results.........
They're doing it off label on bigger prostates now.
I would like to know out of the 10,000 how many have sexual side effect and retro? Ken
I just completed the REZUM procedure 2 1/2 weeks ago. The post op phase,especially, dealing with the cath removal did not goes as well as expected, but it all worked out. Now, just 2 1/2 weeks since the procedure, I see very positive results. Still little traces of blood in the urine but pain has greatly subsided. My flow rate is amazingly better. It will continue to improve for the next 2 1/2 months, but it is equal to or better then when I was taking flowmax. In my visit 2 days ago, my doc said I could resume sexual intetcourse. So, I did, and except for some minor sensitivity, all went well. I am very happy with the Rezum process and the rather rapid improvements to date.
Is it possible to explain what all is done in Rezum System. I have never heard of this term from Urologists here in Pakistan.
It is essentially a medically-induced and medically controlled second to thrid degree burn using steam, administered in two to four places; in other words, nine seconds of steam injected in two to four places in the intraprostatic urethra. The tissue necrotizes and is absorbed over time. Prostate volume is reduced. Ejaculatory ducts are spared. Hope this helps.
Thanks for this info. Best wishes.
