REZUM : Price of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) treatment in Turkey

What is REZUM prostate treatment?

REZUM is a patented, minimally invasive technology designed to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as an enlarged prostate. The procedure specifically targets the excess adenoma tissue, preserving the healthy parts of the prostate. It is especially suitable for men with small to medium-sized prostate enlargement who want a long-term solution without the risks of traditional surgery.

Unlike laser or electrosurgical techniques, REZUM uses sterile water vapor delivered through tiny, specialized needles.

• Precise targeting: The steam releases controlled thermal energy, destroying the excess adenoma cells in a localized, irreversible way.
• Natural elimination: Over the following weeks, the body naturally removes the treated tissue, gradually clearing the urinary passage without the need for mechanical removal.

Why REZUM stands out among BPH treatments

REZUM stands out as one of the most balanced and patient-friendly options for treating an enlarged prostate, offering a combination of effectiveness, safety, and comfort.

• Maximum preservation of sexual function: The procedure avoids cutting or heating critical nerve pathways; the risk of erectile dysfunction or retrograde ejaculation is extremely low, much lower than with more aggressive surgical methods.
• Minimally invasive procedure : No incisions are required. The treatment is performed under light anesthesia and usually takes less than 10 minutes, with most patients staying 24–48 hours or even returning home the same day.
• Fast and smooth recovery: Most men get back to normal daily activities within 2 to 5 days. Irritative urinary symptoms, such as urgency or frequent urination, tend to improve quickly as the prostate begins to heal.
• Proven long-term results: Clinical studies show a significant, lasting improvement in urinary flow, bladder emptying, and overall quality of life, making REZUM a reliable long-term solution for BPH.

In Turkey, the urologists partnered with Turquie Santé are highly trained and experienced in performing REZUM, ensuring precise treatment and optimal outcomes within a well-organized medical pathway.

Who can benefit from the REZUM treatment?

REZUM is a treatment designed for men who want fast, long-lasting urinary relief without long hospital stays or heavy recovery.

Who are the ideal candidates?

REZUM is generally recommended for men who have:

• A moderately enlarged prostate (mild to moderate BPH).
• Bothersome urinary symptoms such as weak stream, urgency, frequency, or waking up multiple times at night.
• Poor tolerance or insufficient results with medication.
• A preference for a minimally invasive option instead of a more aggressive surgery like TURP.

When REZUM is preferable to traditional surgery

REZUM may be the better option if:

• You want to avoid the higher risks and longer recovery associated with invasive surgery.
• You prefer faster improvement in urinary flow without incisions or visible scars.
• You are looking for a safe, clinically validated procedure performed by experienced urologists.

In Turkey, our partner urologists are highly skilled in the REZUM technique. We provide a fully coordinated care pathway from assessing your eligibility to performing the procedure and ensuring quality follow-up, all within top-tier medical centers.

Comprehensive urology evaluation in Turkey

When you arrive in Turkey, your urologist will conduct a thorough assessment to determine whether REZUM is the right treatment for you. This evaluation is carried out in three key steps:

All appointments and logistics are organized by your Turquie Santé medical coordinator. A medical interpreter speaking your language is available to help you communicate clearly with your doctor. You will also receive all necessary instructions in advance, including fasting requirements, medications to pause, and transfer arrangements.

REZUM water vapor therapy: how it works

REZUM treatment is based on a simple yet highly effective principle: water vapor thermal therapy. A radiofrequency generator converts water into sterile steam, which is then delivered directly into the prostate using a specialized endoscopic device.

Once injected, the steam quickly reaches approximately 158°F (70°C) upon contact with prostate tissue through convection. This controlled heat causes targeted cell death in the enlarged prostate tissue, while leaving healthy surrounding tissue intact. Over the following weeks, the body naturally absorbs the treated cells, reducing prostate volume and relieving urinary symptoms.

The flow and temperature of the steam are carefully regulated throughout the procedure, ensuring maximum effectiveness and patient safety.

REZUM is a minimally invasive, fast, and well-tolerated procedure, providing an attractive alternative to traditional surgical treatments. In addition, it preserves sexual function and ejaculation, making it a patient-friendly solution for men seeking long-term relief from BPH symptoms.

Post-operative follow-up after REZUM treatment

Recovery after REZUM is generally quick, but careful follow-up is essential to ensure comfort and long-lasting results.

Most patients notice a gradual improvement in urinary flow within the first few days. Some temporary symptoms may occur, such as mild burning during urination, small traces of blood in the urine, or increased frequency. These usually resolve on their own within days or weeks.

To support recovery, it is important to stay well hydrated, which helps the body eliminate the treated tissue. Gradually resuming normal daily activities is recommended, while avoiding intense physical exertion during the first few days. Following your urologist's instructions is also crucial for relieving any discomfort.

With Turquie Santé, post-operative follow-up is fully coordinated. Your medical coordinator schedules consultations with your urologist, and an English-speaking medical interpreter ensures clear communication. Regular checks, including urine analysis and uroflowmetry, help confirm the effectiveness of the treatment.

With comprehensive follow-up from Turquie Santé, you can enjoy a smooth recovery after REZUM and quickly regain your urinary comfort and overall well-being.

REZUM vs other prostate treatments

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) can be treated using a variety of surgical techniques. Among the most common are:

• TURP (transurethral resection of the prostate)
• HOLEP (holmium laser enucleation of the prostate)

These procedures aim to remove the tissue blocking the urinary flow caused by an enlarged prostate.

While these techniques are effective at relieving urinary symptoms, they often carry a significant risk of retrograde ejaculation, which can affect sexual function.

REZUM reduces prostate volume while preserving sexual and ejaculatory function, offering an attractive option for men seeking effective symptom relief without compromising quality of life.
