RS Abdi Waluyo has been designated as a Center of Excellence for Rezūm Water Vapor Therapy treatment – a minimally invasive procedure Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). Rezūm Therapy uses natural water vapor to reduce the size of the prostate and provide lasting symptom relief from BPH without invasive surgery or some of the potential side effects of prescription drugs.
The Center of Excellence designation recognizes dr. Adistra Imam Satjakoesoemah, Sp.U, FICS, high degree of experience with Rezūm Water Vapor Therapy and commitment to delivering significant, lasting symptom relief to men suffering from Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), a condition in which a man’s prostate enlarges and squeezes the urethra, causing frustrating symptoms such as frequent or urgent urination, a weak or interrupted urine stream, and the need to get up several times a night to urinate. It affects about 50% of men by age 60, and up to 90% of men by age 85.
Center of Excellence Recognizes High Degree of Experience with New Technology
“Being designated as a Rezūm Center of Excellence is a very important recognition for us, as we strive to provide the best possible treatment of urological conditions for patients in Indonesia. For many years, the primary option for treating BPH was through medications or invasive surgery. However, medications may not work for everyone and may have undesirable side effects in sexual function. With Rezūm Therapy, we’re able to provide relief of BPH for men who do not want to take medication or want to avoid invasive surgery” said dr. Adistra Imam Satjakoesoemah, Sp.U, FICS.
During Rezūm Therapy, natural water vapor is released throughout the targeted prostate tissue. When the steam contacts the tissue and turns back to water, it releases energy, killing the excess prostate cells that squeeze the urethra. Over time, the body’s natural healing response removes the dead cells and shrinks the prostate. With the extra tissue removed, the urethra opens, relieving BPH symptoms while preserving erectile and urinary function.
