Dear Doctor,
I am a man of 65 and for the last month I have been constantly passing urine more than usual. I am worried about this. Doctor,
could you tell me what could be causing this frequent urgency to
urinate?
In men older than 40, reduced bladder control or incontinence can
indicate an enlarged prostate gland. An enlarged prostate is a
common problem experienced by men over 50. The condition affects
almost 1:3 men in their 50s.
If the prostate gland begins to enlarge, it may press on the urethra
causing problems with urination, such as urinary tract infections, and
can result in bladder or kidney damage.The Rezum System is a new transurethral water vapour therapy, an
innovative new treatment for Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH).Rezum Water Vapor Therapy is a non-surgical treatment that uses
the natural energy stored in water vapor, or steam, to remove excess
prostate tissue that is pressing on the urethra.
Rezum Therapy is typically performed right in your urologist’soffice,
or at an outpatient surgery facility and completed in one short
appointment.
During each 9 second treatment, sterile water vapor is released
throughout the targeted prostate tissue. When the steam contacts
the prostate tissue, all the stored energy is released into the tissue.
Your doctor will determine the amount of treatments you nee, based
on the size of your prostate.Over the time, your body’s natural healing response absorbs the
treated tissue, shrinking the prostate.With the extra tissue removed,
the urethra opens, reducing BPH symptoms.
Research studies show that Rezum is able to successfully treat
obstructing prostate tissue while preserving sexual function.Most patients begin to experience symptom relief in a soon as two
weeks, and maximum benefit may occur within three months.
