Revolutionary Water Vapor Therapy Introduced at Prashanth Hospital for Prostate Problems

For the first time in the state, Prashanth Hospital in Vijayawada is offering Resume Water Vapor Therapy, a groundbreaking treatment for prostate issues. It is an affective solution for prostate problems and suitable for middle-aged patients and those with additional health issues.  The Comprehensive results achieved within 15 days to a month of treatment said Dr K Prashanth Kumar, Chairman of Prashanth Hospital and a renowned urologist, highlighted the challenges patients often face with traditional treatments for prostate enlargement. Many patients rely on medications for years or undergo surgery without significant improvement, often still experiencing issues such as erectile dysfunction and poor ejaculation.

 

This is especially concerning for men between the ages of 40 and 60. At a media conference held on Saturday, Dr. Kumar emphasized the benefits of Resume Water Vapor Therapy for these patients. He stated, “Individuals with prostate problems may initially delay surgery by using medication. However, if surgery is performed several years later, the results may not be as effective. Many patients continue to experience issues like erectile dysfunction and decreased sperm motility, which can be quite distressing for sexually active men.

 

Prostate problems are increasingly affecting younger men. Resume Water Vapor Therapy addresses these concerns effectively. This innovative treatment provides complete results within 15 days to a month. During the procedure, water vapor is injected into the prostate, using the natural energy of the vapor to gradually shrink excess tissue that is compressing the urethra. Administered under local anesthesia, the procedure is straightforward and usually requires only one or two sessions.” Dr. K. Dheeraj, Managing Director and Chief Consultant Urologist at Prashanth Hospital, added, “Patients who have undergone heart surgery or have heart conditions often need to take blood thinners. With Resume Water Vapor Therapy, there is no need to stop these medications for an extended period; a few days is sufficient. Post-treatment, patients may require some antibiotics and painkillers, and a catheter may need to be in place for about ten days. It is advisable to avoid coffee, chocolate, and alcohol for a few days following the treatment.

 

However, it is important to note that this therapy does not provide a permanent solution to prostate issues and may not be suitable for those with very severe or complex prostate problems. The treatment may also be less effective for elderly patients. It is particularly beneficial for younger individuals with moderate prostate concerns.” Dr. K. Pritam, Medical Director and Chief Consultant Urologist, remarked, “We have introduced Resume Water Vapor Therapy as part of our commitment to offering the most advanced treatments available.

 

This latest option for managing Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is crucial, especially given the rising incidence of BPH in our country. Resume Water Vapor Therapy is also advantageous for patients dealing with other medical issues alongside BPH. This innovation enhances our ability to serve the community better.” The conference also included presentations from Dr P Haritha, Urogynecologist and Robotic Surgeon at Prashanth Hospital, and CVO B.
