PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an endourethral device having an elongated member having proximal and distal segments. SOLUTION: The elongated member is positionable within a lower urinary tract so as to at least partially traverse a prostatic urethra. A proximal anchor, adapted to abuttingly engage portions of a bladder neck so as to at least proximally anchor the device, is supported at least indirectly by the proximal segment of the elongated member. The proximal anchor includes bladder engaging elements radially extending from the proximal segment of the elongated member, urine being freely dischargeable about at least the proximal segment so as to substantially bathe the bladder neck therewith.
