Water vapor therapy is a minimally invasive procedure where a special instrument is inserted through the urethra and releases water vapor throughout the targeted prostate tissue to remove excess tissue. Over time, the prostate will shrink, allowing the patient to gradually experience symptom relief and return to normal urination. The procedure is performed with light anesthesia and is relatively quick. Most patients are discharged within 24 hours of the procedure, and may experience symptom relief as soon as two weeks, with the best results often occurring within three months. Water vapor therapy is FDA-approved as a treatment for BPH. Interested patients should consult a urologist to determine their suitability for this treatment.
