Abstract

A non-invasive device and method for treating and improving dysfunction or disorders associated with pelvic floor are disclosed. The non-invasive device comprises a generator configured to generate acurrent with a predetermined intensity of milliampere at a desirable frequency; at least one electrical stimulation applicator comprises a probe unit configured to transmit the current to a target body surface of vulvar tissues and / or pelvic floor muscle for application of an electrical stimulation; wherein the probe unit comprises a negative electrode (11) and at least one positive electrode andthe probe unit is shaped for positioning on the target body surface of the vulvar tissues and / or the pelvic floor muscle.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 376,092, filed August 17, 2016. The content of the aforementioned application is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention generally relates to the technical field of medical devices, and more particularly, to a method and device for stimulating vulva tissue and pelvic floor muscles to treat and improve dysfunction or disorders related to the pelvic floor. Background technique [0004] The pelvic floor muscles are the layer of muscles that support the pelvic organs and span the pelvic floor. They play an important role in maintaining the normal physiological position and enabling the normal physiological function of the pelvic organs including the bladder, uterus (in women), prostate (in men) and rectum. The pelvic floor muscles are also important for sexual function in both men and women. In...
