Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Bidet is an electronic device spraying stream of the water for cleansing the anus and sometimes to aid defecation. It is widely used in Korea and Japan, with the flow rate (pressure) and temperature of water varying widely among the manufacturers. However, the effects of Bidet on anorectal function have not been studied in detail with regards to these variables.

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).
