A perineometer device for providing biofeedback on condition of sphincter muscle, comprising:
- a cap coupled to a tubular member;
- at least one first finger disposed coaxially within the tubular member;
- at least one plate disposed internally and parallel to the at least one first finger, the at least one plate spaced apart from the at least one first finger;
- at least one battery for applying an electrical potential difference to the at least one first finger and the at least one plate;
- a capacitive measuring microchip for measuring capacitance between the at least one finger and the at least one plate;
- and
- a processor for recording capacitance measured by the capacitive measuring microchip;
- wherein:
