Fortis Hospital, Shalimar Bagh has launched Rezūm™ Water Vapor Therapy, becoming the first multi-speciality hospital in Delhi NCR to offer the minimally invasive treatment for men with Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or an enlarged prostate.
Advanced Treatment for BPH
BPH is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate that commonly affects aging men. In India, studies indicate that more than half of men above 60 experience BPH-related symptoms.
Rezūm™ uses controlled water vapour to shrink excess prostate tissue and improve urinary flow. Doctors can perform the procedure as a day-care treatment, typically without general anaesthesia, enabling faster recovery and an early return to routine activities.
As per the press release, five-year clinical data shows sustained symptom relief, with only 4.4% of patients requiring follow-up surgery. The treatment also carries a lower risk of sexual dysfunction compared with conventional surgical options and may be suitable for some patients on blood-thinning medication after medical evaluation.
Expert Perspective
Dr. Anurag Puri, Additional Director – Urology, Fortis Hospital, Shalimar Bagh, said Rezūm™ can provide relief from frequent urination, sleep disruption and urinary retention while addressing concerns related to traditional surgery, including bleeding, hospital stays and sexual dysfunction.
Expanding Urological Care
Mr. Naveen Sharma, Vice President & Facility Director, Fortis Hospital, Shalimar Bagh, said the launch reflects the hospital’s commitment to patient-centric innovation and advanced minimally invasive treatments.
With Rezūm™, Fortis Shalimar Bagh aims to expand access to modern urological care across Delhi and North India while supporting faster recovery and improved quality of life.
