Development of an anatomic intravaginal device and comparison with a conventional vaginal cone regarding their effectiveness in pelvic floor muscle perception and strength: randomized clinical test

Development of an anatomic intravaginal device and comparison with a conventional vaginal cone... PurposeThe weakness and lack of perception of the perineal musculature and pelvic floor cause a series of emotional and social problems that can affect the social quality of life. This muscular structure is responsible for maintaining the support of the internal organs and participating in the maintenance of the urinary and fecal continence, as well as allowing coitus and childbirth. The objective of this study was evaluating the maximum pressure during the contraction of the perineal musculature and the performance of the pelvic floor muscles after using both the anatomical intravaginal device and the conventional vaginal cone.MethodsFor this purpose, 30 women were selected and randomly and equally divided into 3 groups: Group I, control; Group II, used the conventional vaginal cone; and Group III, used the anatomically shaped intravaginal device, developed in order to accomplish the research. The volunteers in Groups II and III were respectively submitted to a protocol with the vaginal cone and the intravaginal device, and, after the use, they were assessed in order to verify their maximum pressure and the capacity of pelvic floor contraction.ResultsThe analysis of the data showed a statistically significant difference, concerning the evaluated parameters, in the group that used the anatomically shaped intravaginal device.ConclusionThe anatomical intravaginal device, developed in this study, was more effective than the conventional vaginal cone regarding the improvement of the maximum perineal contraction pressure, local perception, and muscular performance. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Research on Biomedical Engineering Springer Journals

Abstract

PurposeThe weakness and lack of perception of the perineal musculature and pelvic floor cause a series of emotional and social problems that can affect the social quality of life. This muscular structure is responsible for maintaining the support of the internal organs and participating in the maintenance of the urinary and fecal continence, as well as allowing coitus and childbirth. The objective of this study was evaluating the maximum pressure during the contraction of the perineal musculature and the performance of the pelvic floor muscles after using both the anatomical intravaginal device and the conventional vaginal cone.MethodsFor this purpose, 30 women were selected and randomly and equally divided into 3 groups: Group I, control; Group II, used the conventional vaginal cone; and Group III, used the anatomically shaped intravaginal device, developed in order to accomplish the research. The volunteers in Groups II and III were respectively submitted to a protocol with the vaginal cone and the intravaginal device, and, after the use, they were assessed in order to verify their maximum pressure and the capacity of pelvic floor contraction.ResultsThe analysis of the data showed a statistically significant difference, concerning the evaluated parameters, in the group that used the anatomically shaped intravaginal device.ConclusionThe anatomical intravaginal device, developed in this study, was more effective than the conventional vaginal cone regarding the improvement of the maximum perineal contraction pressure, local perception, and muscular performance.
