What to Expect After Rezum Treatment: Recovery Timeline, Catheter, Symptoms and Results

Image
04 August 2026 If you are considering Rezūm therapy for an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH ), one of the first questions you are likely to ask is: "What will recovery be like?" It is an excellent question—and one that deserves a clear answer. In my practice, I have found that patients who understand what to expect after the procedure recover with greater confidence and much less anxiety.

The prostate gradually increases in size in many men, and in some, this enlargement can obstruct the flow of urine and lead to bothersome lower urinary tract symptoms. Although BPH is not prostate cancer, its symptoms can have a significant impact on sleep, work, travel, relationships and overall quality of life. The good news is that treatment has evolved considerably. Depending on the prostate size, symptoms, medical history and personal priorities, treatment may range from lifestyle measures and medication to minimally invasive procedures and endoscopic surgery. In this article, we will explain BPH, its symptoms and complications, and the main treatment options available today, including treatments for very large prostates that can often avoid traditional open surgery.
