Abstract
Background Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) etiology remains poorly understood, but chronic low‐grade inflammation plays a role. Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF) (1‐50 Hz) is effective in reducing tissue inflammation. Objectives We designed a pilot study to evaluate the effects of PEMF on prostate volume (PV) in BPH. Materials and Methods This is a prospective interventional trial on 27 naive patients with BPH and lower urinary...
