Description

  The present invention relates to the fact that a subject who urinates in a toilet directly observes his / her urination state via a jig, and in particular, a medical jig that can easily recognize a disease state in which the urine state is reduced. It is invention regarding.

As a conventional method for examining urine status, there is a method of measuring a change in mass of excreted urine over time (for example, see Patent Document 1).
In such a case, the test subject must urinate to an inspection device different from the toilet, and therefore, in order to obtain a urine flow rate curve indicating chronological fluctuations of urine that cannot be routinely urinated and can be used for diagnosis. There was a problem that the measurement efficiency was poor and the diagnostic efficiency was poor.

In addition, by measuring changes in the level of stored water in toilets, especially Western-style toilets that are commonly used, a urine flow rate curve showing the aging of the urine is obtained from the calibration relationship between the amount of stored water and the water level. There are some (see, for example, Patent Document 2).
In such a case, the subject can expect normal urination in this toilet, but such a medical device exists only in a specialized medical institution in the urology department. Even if you don't have a lot of money, or you want to investigate the effects of treatment improvement continuously, the medical device is not installed in all toilets and cannot test for all urination There was a problem.

There is also a portable measurement device that can acquire a urine flow curve in a general toilet (see, for example, Patent Document 3).
In such a case, the device is expensive, and there is a problem that anyone who feels illness cannot test for all urination.

It is sectional drawing which shows a urine flow flight curve when a man urinates in the standing position. It is a perspective view which shows the 1st Example of this invention. It is a perspective view which shows the 2nd Example of this invention. It is a perspective view which shows the 2nd Example of this invention. It is a perspective view which shows the 4th Example of this invention. It is a perspective view which shows the 5th Example of this invention.

  FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a urinary flow curve when a man urinates in a standing position. A method for estimating the urinary flow rate in a Western-style toilet will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

  In general, men urinate in a standing position, but since boys, the urinary flow distance has been used to show their spirit. However, men have an organ called the prostate that nourishes sperm in the lower urinary tract, and it is common for the urinary tract to become enlarged from the age of reproductive age, compressing the urinary tract and weakening with age . It is said that QOL is reduced due to a decrease in urine, and it is said that 40% or more of people in their 60s or more feel a decrease in QOL. However, since it is a disease related to excretion, there are many people who are backward toward the start of treatment. According to statistics from the Ministry of Health and Welfare, about 15% of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia are actually treated.

  In the urine hydrodynamic test performed when evaluating the urine status, the most important index is the maximum urine flow rate (mL / s), which is the maximum value of urine output per unit time. FIG. 1 illustrates the flight curve of urine flow when an adult male with a height of 650 mm to 800 mm from the floor to the male genitals urinates while holding the male genitals horizontally. . As a guideline for benign prostatic hyperplasia, a maximum urinary flow rate of 15 mL / s or more is normal, a maximum urinary flow rate of 10-15 mL / s is mild, a maximum urinary flow rate of 5-10 mL / s is moderate, and a maximum urinary flow rate Less than 5 mL / s is considered severe. We focus on the fact that when the maximum urinary flow rate is 10 mL / s or less, the urinary flow curve passes through almost the same position even if there is a height difference from the floor to the male genitals, that is, a height difference. The urinary flow distance was measured on the rim surface of a Western-style toilet used in a domestic toilet so that the subject himself could easily estimate the maximum urine flow rate. The state when the male genital 2 held horizontally with respect to the Western-style toilet 1 is excreted at various urine flow rates is shown.

  FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a third embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a fourth embodiment of the present invention. The urinary flow rate estimation method using a disposable medical jig will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

  The disposable medical jig 4 is placed on the opening position of the rim surface 3 of the Western-style toilet 1. The disposable medical jig 4 is printed with a marking 5 for alignment with the opening position of the rim surface 3 so that the alignment can be easily performed without error. A water-soluble tape 6 is attached to both ends of the disposable medical jig 4 so as not to be displaced from the Western-style toilet 1 by urine flow. In the center, a center line 7 serving as a guide for the direction of urination and a belt-like line 8 that simply indicates the reach distance are printed. Although the case where the corresponding urine flow rate is shown near the center line is shown, if each band line 8 area is shown in red, yellow, and blue, even those without medical knowledge can easily understand the state of the disease can do. In the drawing, the band-like line 8 is shown as an arc shape. However, the band-like lines 8 may be parallel to each other on the assumption that the standing position is shifted.

  The excreted urine flow reaches the disposable medical jig 4 and a hole is made, so that even a general person can grasp the arrival position and convert it to the maximum urine flow rate. The paper quality of the disposable medical jig 4 should be water-soluble in consideration of being washed in the Western-style toilet 1 after measurement. According to the confirmation by the applicant, it was found that the paper quality range of the toilet seat sheet laid on the toilet seat can be processed by washing with water in the Western-style toilet 1 due to the urine flow in the paper quality range of the toilet seat sheet.

  FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a second embodiment of the present invention. The urinary flow rate estimation method using a disposable medical jig will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

  The example of FIG. 2 shows an example of placing on the rim surface, but FIG. 3 is an example of placing in the bowl 9. The disposable medical jig 4 is placed on the shelf of the bowl 9 of the Western-style toilet 1. This is the position where a sheet for stool collection is placed in the health checkup. There is an advantage that a tape or the like for fixing the disposable medical jig 4 to the bowl 9 is unnecessary. Since water for washing is present in the bowl 9, it is recommended that it takes a predetermined time to become water-soluble, like the stool collection sheet.

  The example of FIGS. 4 and 5 shows a method of placing the disposable medical jig 4 on the rim surface 3 with good flatness. Specifically, in the example of FIG. 4, the disposable medical jig 4 is sandwiched between the thin plate-like horseshoe-shaped frame 10 and the frame 11. In the example of FIG. 5, the disposable medical jig 4 is sandwiched between the wire-shaped frame 12 and the Western-style toilet 1. In the example of FIG. 5, the urine flow arrival position is color-coded. If the maximum urinary flow rate is 5 mL / s, it is “red”, if the maximum urinary flow rate is 5 mL / s to 10 mL / s, “yellow”, and if the maximum urinary flow rate is 10 mL / s, “blue”, medical It is possible to easily recognize one's own state even for a subject with poor knowledge.

  FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a third embodiment of the present invention. The urinary flow rate estimation method using a reuse-type medical jig will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

  A reuse medical jig 13 is placed on the opening position of the rim surface 3 of the Western-style toilet 1. The reuse medical jig 13 is provided with a marking 14 for alignment with the opening position of the rim surface 3 so that the alignment can be easily performed without error. In the center of the reuse medical jig 13, there are provided a center line 15 that serves as a guide for the direction of urination and at least one or more crosspieces 16 that simply indicate the reach distance. The center line 15 shows the corresponding urine flow rate, and each crosspiece 16 is colored red, yellow, and blue so that even those without medical knowledge can easily understand the state of the disease. Can do. The position of each crosspiece 16 can be slid back and forth so that it can be adjusted to the diagnostic criteria of the disease, the maximum urine flow rate that is the target for motivation of each patient, and the like. As a material for the reuse medical jig 13, polypropylene, polyethylene, or the like is recommended so that corrosion or the like does not occur due to contact with urine.
