Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)<\/a> is very common in Canada. Among men aged 50 and older, nearly 48% experience urinary symptoms such as frequent urination or weak stream. To relieve these symptoms without major surgery, Rezum and iTind are two minimally invasive treatment options to consider.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rezum<\/a> uses thermal water vapour to reduce prostate volume, with symptom improvement often noticeable within 2 to 3 weeks after the procedure.<\/span><\/p>\n

iTind<\/a> is a temporary device placed in the urethra that mechanically opens the urinary channel, providing symptom relief after removal of the device, typically 5 to 7 days post-placement.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rezum treats the root cause by reducing prostate volume, while iTind targets symptoms by quickly improving urinary flow.<\/span><\/p>\n
