Rectal stimulator device and use thereof for the treatment of rectal, fecal and/or urinary incontinence

A method for the treatment of rectal, fecal and/or urinary incontinence, comprising the steps of:

• a—inserting a rectal stimulator device in the anus of the patient prior to treatment, said device comprising:
• an ovoid-shaped stimulator ensuring contact with the rectal mucosa, wherein the stimulator is provided with a microcontroller and an electronic circuit capable of receiving treatment instructions, electrodes for transmitting electrical pulses to the pelvic floor musculature and for transmitting the instructions to the microcontroller, and a battery;
• a stimulator grip member, arranged at one end of the stimulator and configured so that the stimulator can be inserted into the anus of the patient in such a way as to ensure contact of the electrodes with the rectal mucosa, the grip member being designed for remaining outside the body when the device is positioned in the anus of the patient, said grip member accommodating an antenna so that the antenna also remains outside the body when the device is positioned in the anus of the patient, wherein the antenna is configured to co-operate with a remote control to prevent the generation of waves inside the body;
• b—activating said rectal stimulator device for treatment;
• and
• c—removing said rectal stimulator device from the anus of the patient at the end of the treatment.
