An intravaginal electrical stimulation device includes a vaginal insert and at least one electrically conductive electrode coupled to the vaginal insert. The vaginal insert is configured to be inserted into a vaginal canal of a user. With the vaginal insert inserted into the vaginal canal, at least a portion of the at least one electrically conductive electrode is arranged to contact a vaginal wall of the vaginal canal to electrically stimulate at least one pelvic nerve through the vaginal wall so that discomfort or pain associated with a pelvic condition or a procedure is alleviated.

In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a flexible and non-absorbent vaginal insert device shaped to be held securely in place in a vagina when inserted, so as to improve symptoms associated with pelvic organ prolapse or urinary incontinence or both, is provided. The device is designed to be relatively easy to insert and remove. An applicator may be used to aid with insertion. The vaginal insert device comprises an upper portion, having a cone-shaped body, having a circular transverse cross-section throughout its length, having a wall with an interior side and an exterior side, an upper open end, a lower end, and a hollow interior, wherein the upper open end of the upper portion is the innermost portion of the device during insertion, and wherein the wall of the upper portion can be squeezed to make the upper portion more compact for easier insertion of the device, and wherein after insertion the wall expands back to its original shape. The device further comprises an exterior rim surrounding and protruding from the exterior side of the wall and being adjacent to the upper open end, and a plurality of ridges surrounding and protruding from the exterior side of the wall, and a removal portion extending from said lower end of said upper portion to assist in removal of the device. The device can also comprise one or more ventilation openings.

The present invention relates to a self-sampling device for collecting cervico-vaginal fluid, which optimizes self-collection of fluid, makes it easier to handle and ensures aseptic conditions. The device comprises a collecting component, which can be coupled to an actuation rod, which collecting component comprises at least a collecting projection formed by a fin-shaped lamellar body extending longitudinally following a sinusoidal-shaped directrix. Said collecting projection comprises a distal portion that has a double curvature and extends uninterruptedly in a proximal portion, which also has a double curvature, and the portions are curved in opposite directions to each other from an intermediate transition point. The device also comprises an applicator assembly which is provided with a temporary braking mechanism which releasably fixes, as required, the position of the actuation rod inside an applicator sleeve, to prevent the same from accidentally coming out and being contaminated. The device comprises a driving mechanism that inserts and moves the collecting component along the vaginal canal describing a reversible helical movement, which, due to its sinusoidal collecting projections with portions having a double curvature, collects both incoming and outgoing fluid from the vaginal canal.

The invention described herein relates to pharmaceutical compositions that are capable of delivering active pharmaceutical ingredients, such as estrogens, to the vagina and vagina-associated tissues and related methods of making and using such compositions (e.g., in the treatment of disease). Compositions of the invention are capable of being absorbed by the vagina or vagina-associated tissues such that subjects receiving treatment with the compositions may resume ambulatory activity immediately after receiving the treatment, the frequency or amount of discharge associated with the composition is low or negligible, there is little or no systemic absorption associated with the administration of the active pharmaceutical composition, or results in a combination of any or all thereof.

According to various embodiments of this disclosure, pharmaceutical compositions comprising solubilized estradiol are provided. In various embodiments, such compositions are encapsulated in soft capsules which may be vaginally inserted for the treatment of vulvovaginal atrophy.

A sexual stimulation device comprises a housing 102 with two housing portions 104, 106 joined by a connecting member 108. One portion provides stimulation, e.g. in the form of a vaginally insertable v

A vaginal speculum for non-invasive injection of a test substance into the uterus of a mouse according to the present invention comprises: a long cylindrical frame having a cavity; a vaginal insertion part provided at one end of the frame; and a catheter insertion part provided at the other end of the frame, wherein the vaginal insertion part is formed such that one end surface thereof is gradually recessed from the outside toward the center.

The invention provides a multi-section type self-adaptive curved vaginal speculum which comprises a columnar body, and the outer diameter of the columnar body is closed within the diameter range suitable for vagina insertion. The device has the advantages that the structural design is high in adjustability, and the device can adapt to the body structures of different patients; an intelligent navigation system is built in, so that the operation precision and efficiency are improved; the material selection is scientific, and the material has high strength, high durability and biocompatibility; various clinical special functional modules are provided, and diversified requirements before, during and after an operation are met.

The present application discloses a gynecological examination device, comprising a vaginal insertion device for insertion into the vagina and an image acquisition device. The image acquisition device is installed in the vaginal insertion device, and the vaginal insertion device is provided with a window through which the image acquisition device observes image information or video information within the vagina. The vaginal insertion device is provided with a liquid storage space at the window. When the vaginal insertion device is inserted into the vagina, the liquid storage space stores vaginal secretions to prevent the vaginal secretions from obstructing the image acquisition device. In this manner, the gynecological examination device of the present application can prevent vaginal secretions from obstructing the image acquisition device, thereby improving the diagnostic accuracy of the gynecological examination device.
