Description

요실금 치료기용 전극{Incontinence therapy an electrode}Incontinence therapy an electrode

본 발명은 여성이 출산과 폐경으로 인해 요실금과 질이완등이 발생하는데 상기 요실금을 치료목적으로 본 발명의 원리와 기술을 제공하는데 있다. 일반적으로 출산과 폐경기에 에스트로겐 감소로 신체변화는 다양하지만 대표적으로 요실금을 들 수 있다. 요실금에는 절박성 요실금과 복압성 요실금으로 분류할 수 있다.The present invention is to provide a principle and technology of the present invention for the purpose of treating urinary incontinence and vaginal relaxation in women due to childbirth and menopause. In general, physical changes vary due to reduced estrogen during childbirth and menopause, but incontinence is the most common. Urinary incontinence can be categorized into urge incontinence and stress incontinence.

상기 절박성 요실금이란 자신의 의지와 상관없이 속옷을 적시는 현상으로 화장실에 가는 도중이나 물소리를 들었을 때 발생되는데 그 발생원인은 신경손상 때문이다. 치료방법에는 약물치료, 전기자극등이 있다.The urge urinary incontinence is a phenomenon of wet underwear, irrespective of one's own will occur when going to the bathroom or when you hear the sound of the water is caused by nerve damage. Treatment methods include medication and electric stimulation.

상기 복압성 요실금이란 재채기, 줄넘기, 웃을 때 복압이 가해지면 발생되는 요실금이다. 그 발생원인은 출산시 태아의 머리에 의한 골반근육이 심하게 아래로 견인되는데 이로인해 근육 자체의 손상뿐만 아나라 근육을 지배하는 신경에 가해지는 장력으로 탈 신경손상이 발생한다. 치료방법에는 크게 골반근육 운동과 전기자극으로 구분할 수 있다. 상기 복압성 요실금을 증상은 정도에 따라 차이가 있으나 다음과 같이 구분할 수 있다. 제 1단계는 재채기, 웃을 때 등 복압이 가해지면 생긴다. 제 2단계는 앉았다 일어설 때 등 작은 신체적 움직임에도 생긴다. 제 3단계은 서 있는 자세에서도 항상 생긴다. 상기 1,2단계의 증상에 따라 적절한 치료방법으로서 비 수술적인 방법이 있었다.The stress urinary incontinence is urinary incontinence that occurs when abdominal pressure is applied when sneezing, skipping rope, and laughing. The cause of this is the severe traction of the pelvic muscles by the head of the fetus during childbirth, which causes denervation damage due to tension applied to the nerves that control the muscles as well as the muscles themselves. Treatment methods can be divided into pelvic muscle exercises and electrical stimulation. Symptoms of stress urinary incontinence vary depending on the degree, but can be classified as follows. The first stage occurs when abdominal pressure is applied, such as when you sneeze or laugh. The second stage occurs with small physical movements, such as sitting and standing up. The third stage always occurs in standing position. There was a non-surgical method as an appropriate treatment method according to the symptoms of the first and second stages.

그 방법은 1948년 케겔씨가 개발한 케겔운동법으로 질, 요도, 항문주위를 감싸고 지탱하는 골반근육을 하루에 100∼200회 정도로 수축과 이완을 통하여 요도의 폐쇄력을 증가시켜 요실금의 예방과 치료에 사용하여왔다.The method was developed by Kegel in 1948. It is a Kegel exercise that prevents and treats urinary incontinence by increasing the closing force of the urethra by contracting and relaxing the pelvic muscles that surround and support the vagina, urethra, and perianal region 100 to 200 times a day. Has been using.

또한 1985년 플레브닉씨가 개발한 요실금 치료기는 원추형으로 선 상태에서 질속에 삽입하여 기구가 중력에 의해서 미끄러져 빠지려는 것을 환자 스스로 감지하고 빠지지 않게 골반근육을 수축하는 것이다.In addition, the incontinence treatment device developed by Mr. Plevnik in 1985 is inserted into the vagina in a conical position, and the patient detects that the device is slipping by gravity and contracts the pelvic muscles without falling out.

또한 전기자극 치료기는 반구형의 일자형으로 누운 상태에서 질속에 삽입하여 일정한 크기와 간격으로 골반근육에 자극을 가하는 것이다.In addition, the electrical stimulation treatment device is inserted into the vagina while lying in a hemispherical linear form to stimulate the pelvic muscles at regular sizes and intervals.

그런데 케겔운동법은 고식적인 방법으로 효과적인 골반근육 운동의 효과를 얻으려면 오랜시간이 걸리며 또한 정확하게 골반근육 운동을 한다는 것은 상당히 어렵다. 즉 골반근육대신 복부근육이나 둔부근육을 수축하는 경우가 많아 골반근육 운동을 객관적으로 측정하는 것이 불가능하다.However, the Kegel exercise method takes a long time to obtain the effect of the effective pelvic muscle exercise in a conventional way, and it is quite difficult to accurately exercise the pelvic muscle. In other words, the abdominal muscles or buttocks muscles are often contracted instead of the pelvic muscles, so it is impossible to measure the pelvic muscles objectively.

또한 플레브닉씨가 개발한 기구는 골반근육이 완전히 파열된 상태에서는 자의적으로 수축을 할 수 없다. 그리고 해부학적 구조는 선상태에서 요도와 질이 약 60。정도로 기울어져 있어 기구가 질내에서 미끄러지는 듯한 느낌을 주지 못하는 점과 꼬리뼈에서 미끄러지지 않고 멈춰있어 중력에 대해서 자의적인 수축을 할 수 없다.In addition, the device developed by Mr. Plevnik cannot contract arbitrarily when the pelvic muscles are completely ruptured. In addition, the anatomical structure is inclined to about 60 degrees in the urethra and the vagina, so that the instrument does not feel as if it slides in the vagina and stops without slipping in the tailbone.

또한 전기자극 치료기는 반구형 몸체에 일정한 간격으로 배치된 다수의 전극부재가 질전체를 자극하여 근육의 피로가 쉽게 발생하고 골반근육에 대해서는 자극의 효과가 적다. 즉 골반근육의 위치는 회음부에서 질안으로 약3cm∼4cm에 위치하는데 다수의 전극부재의 배치는 항상 고정되어 있어 전극부재가 다수가 아니면 않된다는 것이다. 즉 요실금의 치료는 골반근육을 강화하는 것이다.In addition, the electro-stimulation treatment device is a plurality of electrode members arranged at regular intervals on the hemispherical body to stimulate the whole vagina, the fatigue of the muscle easily occurs, the stimulation effect is less on the pelvic muscles. That is, the position of the pelvic muscles is located about 3 cm to 4 cm from the perineum to the vagina, but the arrangement of the plurality of electrode members is always fixed so that the number of electrode members must be large. In other words, the treatment of urinary incontinence is to strengthen the pelvic muscles.

따라서 플레브닉씨가 개발한 원추형 요실금 치료기구가 해부학적 구조에 적응할 수 없는점과 반구형 요실금 치료기용 전극의 전극부재의 위치가 질의 구조에 따라 변하지 않고 제조당시부터 전극부재가 고정되어 골반근육에 위치하지않는 경우를 개선하고 요실금 치료기용 전극을 개선하여 해부학적 구조에 알맞게 적응하여 치료효과를 극대화 하는데 있다Therefore, Plebnik's conical incontinence treatment device cannot be adapted to anatomical structure and the position of electrode member of hemispherical incontinence treatment device does not change according to the structure of the vagina. It improves the case effect and improves the electrode for urinary incontinence treatment device to maximize the therapeutic effect by adapting to anatomical structure.
