Systems and methods for continence training

A medical device for reducing incontinence, the medical device comprising:

• a first balloon having a first end and a second end, the first balloon defining an interior surface and an exterior surface, the interior surface defining an interior space, the interior space including a fluid, the first balloon having an outlet disposed on the first end of the balloon, the outlet being in fluid communication with the interior space of the first balloon, wherein the first balloon is dimensioned and configured to be placed in an interior region of a subject's body surrounded by muscle tissue;
• a first fluid conduit having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end being coupled to the outlet of the first balloon, the fluid conduit being in fluid communication with the outlet and the interior space of the first balloon;
• and
• a pressure sensing detector coupled to the distal end of the first fluid conduit, the pressure sensing detector including a second balloon, the second balloon being in fluid communication with the interior space of the first balloon, the second balloon having an exterior surface with a plurality of markings thereon, wherein the second balloon is configured to be positioned outside of the subject's body, and
• wherein compression of the first balloon by contraction of the muscle tissue displaces a portion of the fluid within the interior space of the first balloon, the portion of the fluid moving towards and into the second balloon and causing an increase in interior volume of the second balloon and expansion of the exterior surface of the second balloon, thereby indicating, via the plurality of markings, a contraction force of the muscle tissue and a magnitude of the compression of the first balloon.
