Hi,
Does anyone have any knowledge about treating BPH with Botox injections?

Will numbing it up, get it out of the way, or only make it look younger to
the bladder?

OK, OK, it does sound like a joke, but take a look at this web site for the
University of Pittsburgh Medical Center:

The MAYO Clinic is also looking into this. Here is a quote from their Web
Site:
http://www.mayoclinic.org/bph/research.html
"Investigational therapies
Mayo Clinic urologists are studying injection of enzymes, Botox and other
substances to destroy prostate tissue. These would also be minimally
invasive outpatient therapies that do not need anesthesia. Studies planned
for the near future will help to identify the advantages and disadvantages
of this technique, as well as the patients most likely to benefit from it."
