Summary

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of Bidet on anal resting pressure with regards to various flow rates and temperatures.

Conditions

  • Anorectal Physiology

Interventions

DEVICE

Bidet (electronic cleansing toilet system)

The volunteers underwent rectal examinations and baseline manometry at lateral decubitus position. Subjects were then placed on a toilet with Bidet attached and manometry catheter was inserted and fixed placing the channels of the catheter at the high pressure zone (HPZ) of the anal canal. Anorectal pressures were measured before and after using the Bidet under different water pressures (4, 8, 16, 20 gram force, gf), types of water stream (narrow vs. wide), and different temperatures (24oC vs. 38oC).
