Hello fellow prostate problem sufferers. Has anyone had successful results with the Rezum precedure. It sounds good...like they all do, but what are the results with any of you? Less frequent urination? Increased flow, Sexual side effects ?

I am 72, in "reasonably" good condition....but I have to pee every 2 hours, night and day, so I NEVER get a decent nights sleep and it's ruining my life. I've tried various drugs and natural remedies with 0 success.

Any and all suggestions and comments are much appreciated

    Hi Robbie,

    I had the procedure performed in Nov 2017.  Here is the link to what I posted. 

    https://patient.info/forums/discuss/rezum-procedure-622155

    In a nut shell my grade is a B+. 

    Positives

    no meds needed (Flomax)

    getting up at night is ~1

    urination flow strength - OK

    not a lot of down time

    no pain meds after 1 day

    Negatives

    retro ejaculation (75% of time) - was only supposed to be a few % possibility of occurring at all

    Too early to know when and if the procedure will have to be performed again. Doctor said normally it would last 2 years

    Would recommend this prior to a TURP.

    Best,

    Ted

      hi Ted, a B+ is definitely worth it !!  good for you ... I'm going investigate further ... have you read (i'm sure you have) the stories about the problems with Rezum?  Who really knows what works and what doesn't... such a crapshoot.
