How should I choose a hospital for Rezum?

Even with the same equipment, Rezum outcomes differ, because the location, number, and angle of vapor injections must be planned for each patient's prostate anatomy. If prostatitis or a urinary tract infection is present, it may need to be stabilized before the procedure. Temporary pain, catheter care, and follow-up are also part of the process, so confirm that the clinic evaluates the prostate comprehensively and manages care through the post-procedure period.

How much does the Rezum procedure cost?

Rezum therapy costs vary with prostate size, extent of the procedure, tests required, and whether hospitalization is needed. The course of treatment also depends on the patient's health and treatment plan. Since every prostate differs, a single fixed price is hard to quote, but expect roughly 9 to 10 million KRW. An accurate estimate follows a detailed prostate examination and consultation.

What kind of anesthesia is used?

It is usually performed under local anesthesia or sedation (twilight anesthesia). Because general anesthesia is not required, older patients and those with underlying conditions can also undergo it relatively safely.

How long do the Rezum procedure and hospital stay take?

Rezum takes about 10–15 minutes and is often done as an outpatient or same-day admission. Some patients may need a 1–2 day stay.

When will I feel the effects of Rezum?

Tissue shrinks gradually, so urinary symptoms usually improve within 2 to 6 weeks.

Is a urinary catheter always required after Rezum?

In most cases a catheter is placed temporarily right after Rezum and removed within 3–7 days.

VIEW

Rezum is a minimally invasive BPH treatment that received FDA clearance in 2015 and MFDS (Korea) approval in 2022.

It uses It uses hot steam to ablate prostate tissue and improve symptoms.

Without incision or general anesthesia, the procedure takes about 10–20 minutes, and recovery is fast.

Rezum therapy: when is it needed?

If you want to reduce the burden of prostate surgery, Rezum can be one answer.
If symptoms like the ones below persist or interfere with daily life, it is a good idea to consider Rezum treatment along with an accurate diagnosis.

When medication hasn't helped
Voiding difficulty such as residual urine sensation or nocturia
Older adults or patients with chronic conditions
When you want a short procedure and a fast return to daily life
Recurring prostate symptoms or growing reliance on medication

is where it all starts!

“It’s the same Rezum — so why are the results different?”

Everything from anatomical understanding to patient selection and post-procedure care must be planned together.

Rezum therapy:
how is it performed?

The Rezum procedure acts selectively on enlarged prostate tissue only, minimizing damage to normal tissue, and its low risk of bleeding and infection makes it highly safe.
It also offers preserved sexual function, a short procedure time, and fast recovery. Here we explain why Rezum surgery is drawing attention, along with how the procedure works.

How Rezum Therapy Is Performed

STEP 01

After caudal anesthesia, an endoscope is passed through the urethra
and positioned at the prostate.
STEP 02

A needle on the endoscope injects
high-temperature steam into the prostate tissue.
STEP 03

Over 1–3 months, the hot steam
gradually shrinks the enlarged prostate tissue.

Rezum therapy: how effective is it?

Through steam convection, it acts only within the enlarged prostate tissue and minimizes damage to normal tissue.

It selectively ablates and shrinks only the enlarged tissue while preserving the urethral lining, so the risk of bleeding and infection is low — safe and effective.

Rezum results can vary even when the same device is used. This is because the location, number, and angle of the steam injections inside the prostate must be designed to match each patient's prostate structure. In addition, when other problems such as prostatitis or a urinary tract infection (UTI) are present, it may be necessary to stabilize the condition first rather than proceeding with the procedure right away. The process that follows, including temporary pain, catheter care, and follow-up observation, is also important, so it helps to confirm that the hospital can comprehensively evaluate the prostate and provide care beyond the procedure itself.
Rezum costs vary with prostate size, procedure extent, required tests, and whether hospitalization is needed.The course of care also depends on the patient's health and treatment plan.

Every prostate is different, so no single fixed price applies, but as a rough guide, you can expect approximately KRW 9–10 million.
