Rezum Procedure

[1sfman]

I had the Rezum procedure almost 10 years ago after many years of worsening BPH symptoms. (Weak stream, increased frequency, incomplete emptying of the bladder.) I continue to be very pleased with my urinary function a decade later. Oddly, I can now pee with a fully inflated Titan where I could not with a natural erection.
I doubt that I could write my name in the snow as I did as a youth, but I am happy with the urine flow.
On the downside, I highly suspect that Rezum contributed to reduced ejaculate volume, but I’ll accept that trade off.

I agree, that would be an acceptable trade off for me. Do you notice reduced frequency as well as better flow? Fewer trips to pee in the middle of the night?

I'm a month+ out from Rezum and within a week of the procedure, nighttime trips to pee were non-existent except if I drank an excessive amount of water prior to bedtime. Prior to Rezum, it was not uncommon for me to get up twice a night to pee. Much better flow as well. I'm very pleased with the results at just over a month+. I already had a reduced ejaculate volume which is just age related, and it's a bit less now, but still there (and at 75, I'll take anything I can get).

That sounds great. How was the recovery, and how long did you need a catheter?

Not sure if my results are typical. I’ve heard that for many Rezum patients, their symptoms will gradually begin to return after several years. But I’m still doing great after ten years. Before Rezum, I would rarely pass by a restroom without stopping in, just in case I didn’t see another restroom for a while. Now the frequency and urgency are not there there. I no longer have to get up in the wee-wee hours to go pee. I can sleep through the night, but if something else wakes me at night, I might go pee just because I’m awake.
