Claim:
1. A device for applying pressure on a vaginal wall of a female subject, said device being configured for insertion into a vaginal cavity of said female subject, the device comprising: a first deformable element having a resting-state and at least one deformed state, said first deformable element configured to anchor said device when in said resting-state inside the vaginal cavity and for undergoing deformation in response to an inner body pressure; a second deformable element having a resting-state and at least one deformed state, said second deformable element configured for undergoing deformation to apply a second pressure on said vaginal wall operable to narrow a urethral portion of said female subject; and a transmission element having a first end connected to said first deformable element and a second end connected to said second deformable element, said transmission element being configured for converting the deformation of said first deformable element to a deformation of said second deformable element, and for returning said first and second deformable elements to their respective resting states, wherein said first and second deformable elements comprise a first and a second balloon, respectively, wherein said transmission element comprises at least one hollow channel traversable by a fluid such that said fluid can flow between said balloons therethrough, and wherein the deformation of the first balloon caused by said inner body pressure is a deflation and the deformation of the second balloon is an inflation.
