Water Vapor Therapy
In this procedure, a device is inserted into the urethra and then sterile water vapor injected into the enlarged areas of the prostate causing the blocking cells to die. The dead cells are then removed through the body's natural healing response, allowing the urethra to open and urine to flow freely. Considered convenient and easy, it is a procedure with few complications. Bumrungrad Hospital was the first in Thailand to bring in the Rezum technology to treat enlarged prostate in 2021 . The hospital’s Urology Center has been certified by Boston Scientific of the U.S. as the Center of Excellence in enlarged prostate treatment with the Water Vapor Therapy, first in Asia. It has treated 276 cases or about 30% of enlarged prostate in the country with water therapy. (July 2024 data)
