Seating apparatus for diagnosis and treatment of diagnosing and curing urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction and defecation disorders

Abstract

The present invention relates to a seating apparatus for the diagnosis and treatment, and more particularly, to a seating apparatus for diagnosis and treatment of diagnosing and curing urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction and defecation disorders which enables to diagnose symptoms of urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction and defecation disorders by measuring contraction pressure and contraction duration of pelvic floor muscles, muscles of perineum and anal sphincters of a user, who puts on cloth while seated, simultaneously with curing symptoms of urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction and defecation disorders throughout biofeedback exercise and training.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0068]According to the seating apparatus for diagnosis and treatment of diagnosing and curing urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction and defecation disorders of the present invention, as constituted above, it enables a nurse or a user to conveniently diagnose symptoms of urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction and defecation disorders by easily measuring contraction pressure and contraction duration of pelvic floor muscles, muscles of perineum and anal sphincters by means of a seat-based contact probe sensor while a user puts on cloth, seated on the present apparatus in public place like hospital, and to conveniently and scientifically cure symptoms of urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction and defecation disorders throughout biofeedback exercise and training.

[0069]Further, it enables to diagnose symptoms of urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction in person by injecting an implantable air probe sensor, connected to the main body, to coelom of a

Problems solved by technology

Urinary incontinence is a control problem of bladder and urethral sphincter, wherein urethral pressure normally exceeds bladder pressure, resulting in involuntary leakage of urine.

Stress incontinence comes from increased intra-abdominal pressure, wherein insufficient strength of urethral ligaments, bulbocavernous muscles, transverses perinei muscles and anal sphincters increase intra-abdominal pressure, resulting in leakage of urine, under 50 ml.

Therefore, urinary incontinence gives women severe damage in terms of mental, social and economic sides.

It implies that urinary incontinence causes many economic problems.

As for physical damage, external genitals get wet all the time, resulting in fungal infections and contact dermatitis.

As for mental damage, anxiety, tension and shame are due to unpleasant odor, disrupting personal relations and social activities.

Also, negative impacts on self-concept and self-esteem cause mental disorders such as depression or emotional alienation.

Moreover, it has been revealed that the excessive increase of pelvic structure due to pregnancy and delivery weakens contractile force of pelvic floor muscles (vagina muscles), causing erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence.

Urinary incontinence is a formidable disease of disrupting marital relation as well as causing inconvenience in daily life.

However, it is the problem that the perineometer needs professional knowledge.

Thus, it is difficult for people to operate the perineometer.

When exercising pelvic floor muscles, abdominal or hip muscles besides pelvic muscles may be used and then, this causes increased abdominal pressure and worse urinary incontinence.

In addition, there are premature ejaculation, impotence, painful ejaculation, prostatic disease and hyposexuality in male erectile dysfunction.

First, prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate.

However, prostatitis is considered as a chronic disease because it is often hard to find out causat
