Dr. Arpeet Shah Presents Rezum BPH Treatment on WGN News
Dr. Arpeet Shah of Associated Urological Specialists discussed Rezum Water Vapor Therapy for BPH on WGN News, Chicago Tuesday morning, June 25, 2004. Mike Toomey interviewed Dr. Shah who explained the treatment is for enlarged prostates in men who have bladder issues.
BPH, or benign prostatic hyperplasia, is an enlargement of the prostate gland which can squeeze the urethra and block the flow of urine out of the bladder. Dr. Shah explains, “It’s a very common condition in men and it basically squeezes the urethra and blocks the flow of urine from the bladder.”
Dr. Shah explains that Rezum is an in-office procedure that can shrink the prostate using the power of natural water vapor or steam. This will open up the flow of urine from a patient’s bladder. In the interview, Dr. Shah points out, “It can be a preferred therapy compared to more invasive surgical options or lifelong prescription drug therapy.” Dr. Shah has been designated as a Rezūm Center of Excellence.
Rezūm Therapy is currently being used in many leading urology practices throughout the United States, including Associated Urological Specialists. To date, more than 55,000 patients around the world have been successfully treated with Rezūm Therapy.
This was the second time Mike Toomey interviewed Dr. Shah on WGN News about Rezum Water Vapor Therapy. He did so earlier in April of 2023 as well.
