Abstract：Benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH)is the most common urinary disorder in middle-aged and older men,significantly affecting patients'quality of life.There is an urgent need for effective and safe treatments.The Rezum water vapor thermal therapy is an emerging minimally invasive treatment that directly applies water vapor to prostate tissue to re-duce gland volume and improve urethral patency;it has recently gained more attention.Current studies indicate that the Rezum water vapor thermal therapy appears promising in terms of both effectiveness and safety;however,it requires more rigorous comparative studies with traditional treatments.Furthermore,additional research is needed to evaluate its long-term effects and potential complications.
