Abstract
An ultrasound applicator for the urogenital region, particularly for treating benign prostate hyperplasia, emits ultrasound waves focused onto a working region lying on the working axis of the ultrasound applicator, the ultrasound waves, as seen in a plane proceeding at a right angle relative to the working axis, having a cross section which can be circumscribed by an envelope that has a first principal axis intersecting the working axis and at least one second principal axis that preferably intersects the first principal axis at a right angle. The length of the first principal axis exceeds the length of the second principal axis or axes.
