Dribbling After You Pee? Get Relief with Rezum®

As a man ages, he’s more likely to experience benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This condition occurs when the prostate gland enlarges and squeezes the urethra, leading to urinary problems. About 50% of men between the ages of 50 and 60 have the condition, and 90% of men older than 80 suffer from BPH. 

One of the annoying symptoms of BPH is dribbling after you’ve finished peeing. Don’t be embarrassed about the condition; instead, come to Buschemeyer Urology in Conroe, Willis, and The Woodlands, Texas, where Dr. W. Cooper Buschemeyer uses a cutting-edge treatment called Rezum® to help ease symptoms associated with BPH.

Read on to learn more about Rezum and how it can help you get back to enjoying life without the constant worry of urinary problems.

About benign prostatic hyperplasia

Benign prostatic hyperplasia is not a malignant condition, but it can significantly affect your quality of life. Symptoms of BPH include:

• Frequent urination, especially at night (nocturia)
• Difficulty starting urination
• Weak or interrupted urine stream
• Feeling that you cannot completely empty your bladder
• Dribbling after urination

These symptoms occur because the enlarged prostate gland presses on the urethra — the tube that lets urine leave your bladder (and your body). The pressure makes it difficult for urine to pass through, which, over time, can lead to bladder irritation and other urinary complications.

How Rezum can help

Rezum is a minimally invasive treatment for BPH that uses water vapor to shrink the prostate tissue, causing urinary problems. It’s a simple outpatient procedure that offers a quick recovery and long-lasting results.

We perform Rezum therapy right here in our office. We give you a local anesthetic to minimize discomfort.

Dr. Buschemeyer inserts a small device into the urethra to deliver controlled bursts of steam directly into the enlarged prostate tissue. The steam causes the cells in the targeted area to die. Over time, the body naturally absorbs these dead cells.

Most patients can return to normal activities within a few days. Full relief from symptoms may take a few weeks as the body processes the treated tissue.

Why choose Rezum therapy

Rezum doesn’t require an incision, which reduces the risk of complications and speeds up recovery time. It also has a low risk of affecting sexual function, which is a common concern with other BPH treatments.

The treatment typically takes less than an hour, and you can go home the same day. Expect to experience significant improvement in symptoms for several years following the procedure.

Candidates for Rezum therapy

Rezum is particularly beneficial for men who have moderate to severe BPH symptoms. It’s ideal when you want a minimally invasive alternative to medication or surgery.
