Key points

  • Rezūm is an outpatient procedure that uses water vapor to reduce excess prostate tissue.

What the Rezūm treatment in Puerto Vallarta is

Rezūm in Puerto Vallarta is a minimally invasive option for men seeking to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The procedure uses water vapor to reduce excess prostate tissue, which may improve urinary flow and quality of life.

It is an outpatient procedure that usually takes less than 30 minutes. It is performed under local anesthesia or light sedation and applies water vapor directly into the prostate tissue. The vapor causes the prostate to shrink gradually, and BPH symptoms may improve within a few weeks.
