Abstract
Methods and apparatus for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia rely on imparting a low frequency vibration to the prostate. A treatment catheter is introduced through the urethra, and the vibrating element on the catheter energized within the prostate. The low frequency vibration reduces pressure from the prostate on the urethra, possibly by inducing apoptosis of smooth muscle cells.
