Methods and systems for direct electrical current stimulation as a therapy for prostatic hypertrophy

   
   

A small implantable stimulator(s) includes at least two electrodes for delivering electrical stimulation to surrounding tissue. The small stimulator provides means of stimulating the prostate with direct electrical current, such as relatively low-level direct current, without the need for external appliances during the stimulation session. The stimulator may be configured to be small enough to be implanted entirely within the prostate. Open- and closed-loop systems are disclosed.
