Definitions
- This invention relates to a novel perineometer for domestic use. More particularly, this invention pertains to a novel perineometer which can be used by a woman at home or in a non-medical environment for treatment and rehabilitation of pelvic floor muscles by pelvic muscle exercises (PME).
- PME pelvic muscle exercises
- the benefits include improved vaginal tone after childbirth, maintenance of sexual health, and prevention of some forms of urinary incontinence, specifically stress incontinence.
- the disclosed apparatus includes a probe (1) which is primarily intended for use in the anus (see Figures 10 and 11, particularly) .
- the probe (1) for anal use as shown in Figures 10 and 11, includes an inflatable bulb (61).
- contraction exercises can be prescribed by a physician for an incontinent patient, coupled with a rectal expansion stimuli, whereby the patient after each observed rectal expansion, makes a contraction of the anal sphincter muscle and the pelvic floor muscles.
- the catheter includes a pair of electrodes (26) which are attached to the outside surface of the canula (7).
- the electrodes (26) contract and when charged with electricity cause the anal or vaginal muscles to contract.
- An apparatus (12) capable of monitoring electrical discharges from the two electrodes (26) is associated with the canula (7).
- a combination of the two electrodes (26) and pressurized fluid in the catheter (7) generates an outgoing signal. This signal is processed through electrical means and the magnitude of the signal is displayed on an illuminated display pad (26) corresponding respectively to pre-established pressure thresholds.
- the catheter (7) with the pair of electrodes (26), in combination with fluid filling the catheter provides the correct electrical contact required for the transmission of electrical impulses to the adjacent muscular mass of the cavity, the electrical impulses being provided by electrical stimulation equipment.
- a similar regimen, as well as other programs, can be programmed into either the microprocessor 34 of the manually inflated perineometer 2 or the microprocessor 75 of the automatic perineometer 50.
