The present invention is directed to a system for treating uro-genital conditions. One aspect of this invention involves the treatment system comprising one or more polypeptides with an amino acid sequence including KP V (SEQ. ID. NO. 1), MEHFRWG (SEQ. ID. NO. 2), HFRWGKPV (SEQ. ID. NO. 3), SYSMEHFRWGKPV (SEQ. ID. NO. 4), for treatment of uro-genital conditions. The one or more polypeptides can also be a dimer formed from any of the amino ac id sequence above. Uro-genital conditions can include infections, inflammation, or both. In one preferred embodiment of the invention, the uro-genital condition includes infection and/or inflammation of the vagina, vulva, urina ry tract, penis, and/or the rectum. In another preferred embodiment of the invention, the one or more polypeptides are dissolved in a carrier. In anoth er preferred embodiment of the invention, the one or more polypeptides are associated with a tampon for preventing toxic shock syndrome. In another preferred embodiment, the one or more polypeptides are associated with a contraceptive for prevention of sexually transmitted diseases or infections. In another preferred embodiment, the one or more polypeptides are associated with a suppository for insertion into the vagina or rectum.
