JAKARTA - Rezum therapy or rezum therapy is the latest technology specifically designed to address complaints of prostate disorders or enlargements (benign prostate hyperplasia/BPH).
This technology works by utilizing the thermal energy of hot water vapor injected into an enlarged prostate tissue.
The Steam will selectively and safely shrink the excess network, without damaging the surrounding structure.
In other words, this rezum therapy action is also at least a risk, unlike prostate surgery which has been commonly known asrok techniques.
Patients do not need to be afraid of bleeding such as prostate surgery in general so far. In addition, patients also do not need to worry about sexual function because rezum therapy protects this.
Not surprisingly, this rezum therapy has been used in various major hospitals in America and Europe. Now this technology is starting to be introduced in stages in Asia, including in Indonesia.
The new rezum therapy was launched by Mitra Keluarga Kelapa Gading Hospital on Tuesday, July 8, 2025.

"We want this hospital to be a place where patients can get the best medical solutions with a pleasant experience."
"There is no more fear of major operations. The regime answers the needs of patients who want to recover, but still want to be active."
"This regime is arguably a new act or service. If the patient takes long-term, routine, and regular drugs, or operations are dredged with all kinds of risks, such as bleeding of sexual function disorders, the rezum offers a service something new."
"Rezums have a minimal risk, no incision, minimal bleeding. The risk of bleeding is minimal."
"I think this is a service that, indeed, we consider for patients who are still indecisive. With the rezum, patients will be able to choose more patients," said dr. Ronald Reagan, Director of Mitra Keluarga Kelapa Gading Hospital.
The presence of rezum therapy at Mitra Keluarga Kelapa Gading makes people who need treatment in prostate disorders do not need to go all the way abroad.
In addition, at the launch of this rezum therapy, Mitra Keluarga Kelapa Gading offered several packages so that the public was aware of the importance of prostate health or early detection.
"This Rezum has just arrived at Mitra Keluarga Kelapa Gading and will be present at all Mitra Keluarga Group hospitals."
"We want to form awareness for the patients. If so far we have symptoms of prostate disorders, we can be more aware to check ourselves. We make packages more affordable so that awareness is formed."
"For early detection, so that if you are not aware or do not understand you have to check, you don't want to, we offer it to make it more willing."
"It's been released yesterday from Boston Scientific, that the treatment work can be used for the amount of prostate up to 150 grams, previously only up to 80 grams. This is good enough news. With a larger prostate size, it can be done with rezum," said dr. Ronald Reagan again.
New Technology, New Comfort
Prostate massiveness is a very common condition in men aged 50 years and over.
Symptoms include frequent urination at night, yangyang-yangan, weak urine beam, and incomplete feeling after tilging.
Most patients think this is normal because of age. In fact, if left unchecked, it can have a serious impact on the quality of life and kidney health.
Given disturbing the prostate overshadowing men with handling measures that are considered to have a frightening risk so far, rezum therapy is the answer.
The latest technology from the United States is specifically designed to address complaints of minimal invasive prostate enlargement, without major surgery.
With rezum therapy, treatment only lasts about 1015 minutes, does not require (non-surgical) incision, patients can go home on the same day, lack of side effects, maintain sexual function, and results begin to be felt in a few weeks.
This experience was shared by an urologist, dr. Nugroho Purnomo, Sp.U, Subsp. Onk (K), who leads an urology service at Mitra Keluarga Kelapa Gading.
Doctor Nugroho is also the first doctor in the Mitra Keluarga network to implement Rezkahm technology.
"For years we treated BPH with drugs and open surgery. However, not all patients are suitable or ready to undergo surgery."
"With the rezum, we have a new choice that is fast, effective, and safe. Patients can immediately return to work, exercise, and even holidays. That's a big added value."
"This review for Indonesia is still new. There are only about 100 patients in Indonesia. I have only handled about 10 patients with this rezum."
"The Rezum has been implemented in Hong Kong, Singapore, or Malaysia. Some of our patients asked for the rezum. Because yesterday there was no such thing, patients went to Singapore or Malaysia."
"With Mitra Keluarga already launching the rezum, then services can be done in Jakarta. My research is good enough, especially what we can convey, the risk of bleeding the most frightening is minimal."
"The problem is, the risk of protat operations for operators like me is also quite scary. Especially the patient's old age, which can cause death."
"With this rezum, I prefer to say that risk patients are very minimal, sexual function can be maintained because prostate is an important component for men," said dr. Nugroho.
Meanwhile, awareness about prostate health in Indonesia is still relatively low. Therefore, the presence of rezum therapy is also a step to increase public awareness to check or detect early on the health of its prostate.
"Prostates are reproductive organs that must be maintained in the hope of being more aware and willing to be examined," said dr. Nugroho.
