Pelvic muscle probes are specialized medical devices used to evaluate and strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. These muscles support vital organs such as the bladder, uterus, and rectum, and they play a crucial role in urinary and bowel control as well as sexual function. When pelvic floor muscles become weak or dysfunctional due to childbirth, aging, surgery, or neurological conditions, pelvic muscle probes can assist in both diagnosis and therapy.
