1. A system for delivery of molecular hydrogen into a bodily orifice of a subject, the system comprising:
a cylindrical, elongate body having proximal and distal ends extending between a longitudinal axis thereof, and configured to be delivered into the bodily orifice, wherein the elongate body comprises:
an inner cavity having enclosed therein at least one dry compound capable of generating molecular hydrogen upon exposure to a liquid activator; and
a barrier encompassing the at least one dry compound and that is at least partially hydrogen-permeable and not permeable to the at least one dry compound;
wherein the elongate body comprises an absorbent layer at least partially encompassing the inner cavity that has the at least one dry compound; and
a pull element extending from the proximal end of the elongate body and configured to be at least partially disposed outside of the bodily orifice when the elongate body is inserted into the bodily orifice.
