Abstract

Disclosed herein is an attenuation device (66) for treating symptoms of a urinary tract dysfunction. Also disclosed herein is an attenuation device (430) comprising a flexible housing (70) and a medium (432, 434) capable of transformation to inflate the housing from the first configuration to the second configuration. Also disclosed herein is an attenuation device (66) with a high vapor pressure media having a vapor pressure approximately equal to the intravesical pressure of the bladder (468) and a permeability of less than 1 ml/day at body temperature through the outer wall (470) of the attenuation device (66). Further disclosed herein are methods of treating a patient with a compressible attenuation device (66).
