TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical equipment, and specifically relates to a pelvic floor muscle fascia pain point detection device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Myofascial pelvic pain syndrome (MPPS) is a common cause of chronic pelvic pain, which is caused by excessive tension in the pelvic floor muscle fascia, leading to painful contracture nodules in the local area, and further causing a series of symptoms, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients. The exact cause of MPPS is not completely clear, but it may be related to pregnancy, childbirth, surgery or chronic stress.

[0003] The typical symptoms of MPPS include pain and discomfort in the pelvic floor area, and patients may also suffer from lower urinary tract symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, pain and incomplete urination. The key to the diagnosis of this syndrome is to identify the tender points of the pelvic floor muscle fascia, which is extremely critical for the diagnosis, treatment and efficacy evaluation of MPPS.

[0004] Currently, the examination of pelvic floor muscle fascia pain points mainly relies on the doctor's finger diagnosis, that is, the doctor uses the index finger or middle finger to explore into the patient's vagina or anus, and presses the pelvic floor muscle fascia to evaluate the muscle tension and pain response. However, due to the difference in pressing force of different doctors, this method may lead to misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis, affecting the accurate diagnosis of MPPS. In addition, even the same doctor, the consistency of pressing force in different time points is difficult to guarantee, which may interfere with the evaluation of treatment effect.
