Can Rezūm cause erectile dysfunction?
There are no reports of new erectile dysfunction as a results of Rezūm treatment. Based on data from the Rezūm pivotal and post, US FDA approval studies, ejaculatory function was preserved; however, men with BPH are at higher risk for other potential urinary/ejaculatory challenges and there is a possibility that an underlying condition may surface following treatment with the Rezūm System. 1 Be sure to talk with your urologist about your individual health situation.
