Transvaginal probes (10) equipped with tactile sensors (11) are configured for placement into vagina to record tactile response during insertion, acquire static tactile pattern from vaginal wall after the insertion is complete, and acquire dynamic tactile patterns during probe motion as well as recording dynamic tactile response during contraction of vaginal muscle. The acquired and recorded tactile data are transmitted to a data processor (100) for composing tactile profile of vagina and visually presenting thereof on a display. Elasticity profile of vaginal tissue is calculated from the tactile response recorded from different parts of the probe during its insertion, from the static pressure pattern and from the dynamic tactile pattern. Pelvic floor muscle strength is defined as a contact pressure increase detected on fixed probe surface under the muscle contraction. Tactile profile of vagina is determined using the static tactile pattern, the elasticity profile and pelvic floor muscle strength. The data processor provides a comparative analysis of the tactile profile with a variety of vaginal tactile profiles recorded for a given population with known clinical conditions so as to assist in diagnosing a disease.Linvention concerne des sondes transvaginales (10) munies de capteurs tactiles (11) configurées pour le placement dans le vagin en vue denregistrer une réponse tactile lors de linsertion, dacquérir un modèle tactile statique de la paroi vaginale après lachèvement de linsertion et dacquérir des modèles tactiles dynamiques lors du mouvement de la sonde ainsi que pour lenregistrement dune réponse tactile dynamique lors de la contraction du muscle vaginal.
