Abstract

A system and method are provided for transducing vaginal conditions, affecting vaginal or body conditions, and/or stimulating perineal musculature and nerves. A separate, portable, non-implanted intravaginally containable combination probe and transceiver (211) is provided that can sense vaginal conditions, can deliver signals or medication, and/or can stimulate perineal musculature and nerves. This probe unit is provided with 2-way wireless communication for transmitting information that is transduced and for receiving control and programming signals. In addition, a separate combination controller and transceiver (22) is provided for wirelessly sending signals to the probe unit and for receiving signals therefrom. A real time wireless signal feedback loop is thus provided between the controller and the probe and/or external devices, networks and databases.

Claims (10)

1. A system for at least one of transducing vaginal conditions, affecting vaginal or body conditions, and stimulating perineal musculature and nerves, characterized by:
a single, separate unit in the form of a portable, non-implanted, intravaginally containable combination probe, transceiver and power source (21,34) that is provided with means for at least one of sensing vaginal conditions, delivering signals or medication, and stimulating perineal musculature and nerves;
wherein said combination probe, transceiver and power source (21, 34) is provided with 2-way wireless communication means (36) for transmitting information that is transduced and for receiving control and programming signals; and a single separate unit in the form of a combination controller and transceiver (22) that is provided with wireless means (36') for sending signals to said probe and for receiving signals therefrom;
wherein a wireless signal feedback loop is provided between said controller (22) and said probe (21) and which may be an interactive or closed signal feedback wireless loop.
2. A system according to claim 1, characterized in that said means of said combination controller and transceiver (22) for sending signals includes means (36') for wirelessly altering operation settings of said probe.
3. A system according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that said probe (21) is provided with means for transducing in the form of a muscle contraction sensor, or in the form of means for sampling cervical fluid or other changes in the vaginal environment, or in the form of means for sensing at least one of temperature, pH, secretion viscosity, vaginal pathogens and atypical cervical cells.
4. A system according to any of claims 1-3, characterized in that said probe (21) is a sealed unit which is adapted to be inserted "in-situ" into the vaginal vault or removed therefrom, and in that said controller and transceiver (22) may be a hand-held unit.
5. A system according to any of claims 1-3, characterized in that said means of said controller and transceiver (22) for sending signals includes means (36') for wirelessly altering at least one of stimulation signal levels, a transducing sensor, and medication, and/or in that said probe (21) is provided with stimulating means that includes means for automatic adjustment of stimulation levels in response to at least one of sensed muscle contractions and changes in the vaginal environment.
6. A system according to any of claims 1-5, characterized in that said probe (21) is provided with stimulating means, and in that said stimulating means is programmed to provide at least one of altering stimulation, a transducing sensor, and medication over a given period of time, wherein said stimulating means may be remotely adjustable via a wireless signal.
7. A system according to any of claims 1-6, characterized in that said probe (21) is provided with at least one of at least one conductive band (26) and a sensor transducer.
8. A system according to any of claims 1-7, characterized in that said controller and said probe are provided with a wireless means to transmit signals to and/or receive signals from external devices, networks, or databases.
9. A method of accomplishing at least one of transducing vaginal conditions, affecting vaginal or body conditions, and stimulating perineal musculature and nerves, said method characterized by the steps of:
intravaginally inserting a portable, single separate unit in the form of a combination probe, transceiver, and power source (21, 34);
with said combination probe, transceiver and power source (21, 34) accomplishing at least one of transducing vaginal conditions, delivering signals or medication, and stimulating perineal musculature and nerves;
providing said combination probe, transceiver and power source (21, 34) with 2-way wireless communication means (36') for transmitting transduced information and for receiving control and programming signals;
providing a single separate unit in the form of a combination controller and transceiver (22) that is provided with wireless means (36') for sending signals to said combination probe, transceiver and power source (21, 34) and for receiving signals therefrom; and providing a wireless signal feedback loop between said combination probe, transceiver and power source (21, 34) on the one hand and said combination controller and transceiver (22) on the other hand.
10. A method according to claim 9, characterized by the step of transmitting and/or receiving signals, in a wireless manner, to and from external devices, networks or databases.
