| FlowPants™ uses the transient, neuromodulatory effects of comfortable skin heating to cause relaxation of muscle cells in the bladder neck, urinary sphincter, and pelvic floor. The effect of heating can be described as “anti-sympathetic”, meaning it reduces the activity of the sympathetic nervous system. Increased sympathetic nervous activity is associated with
urinary hesitancy symptoms seen with prostate enlargement (BPH) and
Shy Bladder Syndrome (paruresis). |

| No. If you are taking Flomax® or other FDA-approved drugs, you should consult with your physician on how to incorporate FlowPants™ into your treatment strategy. FlowPants™ is not intended to replace FDA-approved medications. They are a non-invasive, non-pharmacologic (non-drug) means intended to provide a complementary or alternative option to help patients. |
||
| FlowPants™ is designed to be worn under your pants but on top of your regular underwear (boxers or briefs). The temperature controller/battery pack attaches to your waist by a belt clip. Simply turn on the controller, and FlowPants™ will gradually warm up and deliver a soothing and relaxing heat to the lower abdominal and pelvic region, with an emphasis on the suprapubical and perineal areas. |

| Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a condition in men that often begins at about 40-45 years age. The word "hyperplasia" means enlargement. The word "benign" means that the enlargement is not caused by cancer or infection. The prostate is a walnut-sized gland located beneath the bladder and in front of the rectum. BPH is not cancer. However, an enlarged prostate can be very bothersome and severely affect one’s lifestyle. |
||
| Common BPH symptoms include: | ||
| Urinary hesitancy (“I feel like I need to go but have a really tough time with starting.”) | ||
| Nocturia (“I have to get up several times in the middle of the night to go.”) | ||
| Increased urinary frequency and urgency (“I have to go to the bathroom so often, but when I go, I only urinate a little bit.”) | ||

| Paruresis, or Shy Bladder Syndrome, is a social phobia that affects approximately 20 million Americans, approximately 90% of whom are male (may be common in females as well but the condition goes unrecognized or underreported). In both men and women, the condition can be debilitating and have an adverse impact on work, social life and other everyday living tasks. |
||
| Shy Bladder sufferers commonly describe the following: | ||
| Marked difficulty with urinating in public places. | ||
| Difficulty may be triggered by the presence of strangers, close proximity to others, or the need for privacy. | ||
| Difficulty may be tied to emotional states, like anxiety, anger, and fear. | ||
