Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de traitement thermique (100) de la région du vagin ou du colon chez l'humain. Ledit dispositif présente un élément longitudinal (20) pouvant être introduit dans une cavité corporelle de la région du vagin ou du colon, et transmettant de la chaleur à la région du vagin ou du colon lors du traitement. Ledit élément longitudinal (20) est conçu sous forme d'un contenant cylindrique (2) présentant à l'intérieur un espace creux (9) de volume constant, pouvant être rempli d'un milieu liquide accumulant la chaleur. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, le dispositif (600) présente un élément massif (20') contenant des conduites d'eau chaude intégrées (17).
