Abstract Female disorders in animals are treated by electrically vibrating in the vagina of the animal a generally penis-shaped instrument having means for gradually releasing and distributing medications, such as hormone gels, antibiotics and the like during the vibration process. The instrument is provided with an elongated slot, preferably sinusoidal in character, containing or adapted to contain the medication desired. The vibrational energy penetrates well beyond the contacting surfaces of the vagina and thus assists in the development or redevelopment of certain lazy or degenerated muscles that appear to be responsible for such disorders as female frigidity, certain menstrual or menopausal disorders and the like.
An instrument for treating female animal disorders comprising a unitary molded plastic element suitable for at least partial insertion into the vagina of the animal and means for electrically vibrating said element, said element having an elongated generally cylindrical portion with an anterior end of rounded shape, and a posterior portion having an annular enlargement, and means for attaching said element to said electrical vibrating means, said annular enlargement having anterior and posterior, oppositely sloping annular surfaces intersecting in a smooth annular zone of maximum enlargement, said elongated generally cylindrical portion having an elongated slot therein suitable for receiving medicinal gels, said plastic element having a closed end longitudinal cavity extending from the posterior end to near the rounded anterior end thereof, the axial center of said cavity being displaced from the longitudinal axis of the element whereby unbalance is provided and vibrating motion is changed from straight axial movement and distribution and absorption of said gels is facilitated.
