A catheter is introduced into a body opening in the patient's pelvic region and is retained in the body opening. The force which is transmitted to the catheter at squeezing and straining, respectively, via the bounding wall of the body opening respectively, is transmitted mechanically by means of the catheter to a measuring site provided externally of the patient's body for indication of the force. The catheter is connected with a force sensor (24) which is supported by a support means (14) in a fixed position in relation to a standing accommodation (35) for the patient. A force indicator (32) is operatively connected with the force sensor. |
