Abstract:
1. A system for sensing vaginal conditions or for affecting vaginal or body conditions in a mammal, comprising: a portable probe unit, said probe unit comprising a substantially cylindrical body having a substantially smooth and substantially sealed outer surface with a rounded end and so dimensioned as to permit comfortable and repeated insertion into, removal from, and containment entirely within a mammal's vagina; means substantially flush with the outer surface of the body of the probe and configured to accomplish at least one of delivering electrical pulses, receiving electrical pulses, sensing or sampling vaginal conditions, and delivering medication; a programmable microprocessor; a memory; a battery; and two-way communication means with antenna and adapted to both transmit signals to a controller unit and receive signals from said controller unit wirelessly and in real time, even when said probe unit is contained entirely within a mammal's vagina; and the controller unit comprising two-way communication means adapted to both receive signals from said probe unit and transmit signals to said probe unit wirelessly and in real time, even when said probe unit is contained entirely within a mammal's vagina, wherein said signals to said probe unit comprise control and programming signals acting as a feedback loop configured to start, stop, and/or alter the activity of said substantially flush means of said probe unit, either automatically or manually, for sensing vaginal conditions or for affecting vaginal or body conditions.
