Urethral flow control valve and system and methods thereof

A process for managing urine flow from a patient's bladder through the patient's urethra comprising the steps of:

• placing a pressure sensor on the patient's bladder;
• placing a moisture sensor on the patient's urethra;
• providing a data management system;
• providing the data management system with a pressure signal receiver;
• providing the data management system with a moisture signal receiver;
• providing a urethra closing valve on the patient's urethra;
• providing a signal receiver in the urethra closing valve for receiving signals from the data management system;
• providing a urethra closing valve activation system operably connected to the urethra closing valve signal receiver;
• measuring pressure in the patient's bladder and generating a bladder pressure level signal;
• transmitting a bladder pressure signal to the data management system and receiving the bladder pressure signal in the data management system;
• measuring moisture level in the patient's urethra and generating a urethra moisture level signal;
• transmitting the urethra moisture level signal to the data management system and receiving the urethra moisture level signal in the data management system;
• activating the urethra closing valve and occluding the urethra when pressure in the bladder exceeds a preset value;
• and
• activating the urethra closing valve and occluding the patient's urethra when moisture in the patient's urethra exceeds a preset value.
