Abstract:
This invention relates to a novel method of treating various inflammation-related anorectal and genitourinary conditions using various related, novel formulations. The formulations comprise, at a minimum, a corticosteroid, an antidepressant agent(s) with anti-allergic and/or anti-itch properties and a cooling/soothing agent(s). Selection of specific ingredients depends on the nature of the target tissues, the etiologies of inflammation and the severity of symptoms. To maximize its efficacy, each of the formulations has a unique combination of several active ingredients, and each of these ingredients exerts its anti-inflammatory effect at various phases of the inflammatory cascade, resulting in a synergistic effect of pain relief and healing. To minimize the side effects, the current multi-active ingredient formulations allow each of these ingredients to exist at a lower concentration than the existing single-active ingredient formulations, thus minimizing the likelihood for side effects due to systemic absorption and toxicity. The formulations are highly versatile in that the composition of the ingredients can be varied and adjusted to treat a wide array of anorectal and genitourinary conditions.

Claim (Index 5):
A method of treatment of inflammation-related genitourinary medical conditions by delivering a composition according to  claim 1 ,  2  or  3  comprising the steps of:\n (a) diagnosing one or more of said genitourinary conditions in a patient; \n (b) formulating said composition by dispersing the three major active ingredients into a commercially accessible base; and \n (c) delivering an effective amount of said formulation topically to the affected areas of a patient in need thereof by way of bare finger, gloved finger, pad, swab, cloth, applicator, or patch;\n wherein said genitourinary conditions comprise acute, chronic or recurrent prostatitis, bacterial or non-bacterial prostatitis, prostadynia, balanitis, balanoposthitis, balanitis xerotica obliterans, groin itch, scrotal itch, radiation cystitis, radiation vaginitis, radiation prostatitis, radiation urethritis, infectious and non-infectious urethritis, peri- and post-menopausal urethritis, peri- and post-menopausal vaginitis, atrophic urethritis, urethral syndrome, peri- and post-menopausal vaginitis, infectious and non-infectious vulvovaginitis, atrophic vaginitis, vaginal dryness, non-specific vaginal symptoms, pre- and post-coital discomfort and dyspareunia, vaginismus, vulvodynia, radiation vaginitis, and genitourinary infections including bacterial infections, fungal infections, viral infections, genital herpes, and warts/condyomata, and said affected areas comprise the skin, anus, rectum, external genitalia, scrotum, penis, vagina, labia, urethral meatus, peri-urethral area, peri-vaginal area, and perineum, and said patient is a human.
