The present invention provides a method and composition for treatment of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) in men via a transscrotal delivery system. The composition of the present invention includes the steroid hormone progesterone containing permeation enhancers that greatly facilitate permeation through the skin, thus preventing modification of the constituents therein and providing continuous and sustained delivery of progesterone for several hours that mimics the circadian rhythm of endogenous progesterone. The progesterone composition preferably is capable of delivering an effective dosage amount of about 65-100 mg of progesterone per ml when applied directly onto the surface of scrotum.

An implantable, adjustable male incontinence device. The device has an inflatable balloon affixed to a central portion of a reinforced nonextensible elastomeric strip. The balloon includes a first length of elastomeric tubing extending therefrom that provides fluid communication with the interior chamber of the balloon. The uninflated balloon is implanted to overlie the male urethra with the nonextensible strip oriented horizontally and facing away from the urethra. The lateral opposing ends of the nonextensible strip are sutured to the periosteum of respective left and right iliac bones and the inflation port is implanted beneath the skin in an accessible portion of the body, preferably in the scrotum or, less preferably, in the perineum. The inflation port, which also includes a second length of tubing in fluid communication therewith, is implanted beneath the skin and the first and second lengths of tubing are connected to one another. A fluid is injected into the inflation port and conducted to the interior chamber of the balloon causing it to inflate and force periurethral tissue against the urethra to partially constrict the urethra and reduce the pressure of urine on the external meatus. The urethral constriction can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the amount of fluid in the balloon via the inflation port.

A pair of underwear for use by a male includes a fabric fashioned to form a boxer-brief type undergarment, the fabric having a bilateral symmetry and including a front panel.

Temporary relief from urine retention often accompanying prostate gland enlargement can be had by catheterization. Conventional catheters extend through the sensitive tip of the penis, causing pain, and preventing sexual relations. This invention places a valve inside the urethra that has an attached, proximal catheter which passes through the prostate into the bladder. Such valve can be opened at will by applying finger pressure against the distal valve tip and pushing upward toward the prostate. The latter tip can be felt inside the urethra, near the juncture between the penis and the scrotum. With the valve in the open position, the bladder can be nearly fully voided, regardless of the degree of enlargement of the prostate. This efficient and easy drainage of the bladder can eliminate the need to endure the painful surgical enlargement of the prostate duct—which can cause an inability to father children, normally, and may cause incontinence.
