An apparatus, in particular for use in the antenatal period of pregnant women for insertion into the vagina, the main function of said apparatus being to dilate muscular, tendinous and connective tissue in the pelvic floor so as to make these tissue structures more flexible. The apparatus comprises a length of hose (4) mounted on the mandrel (3) and expandable by means of a fluid, said length of hose being connectible with the fluid through at least one channel (6) in the mandrel, said mandrel being formed with at least one channel which extends longitudinally through it and terminates outside the user in the use of the apparatus. The mandrel with the length of hose may be provided with a replaceable cover which adds to the hygiene and safety. The apparatus is more handy and easy to use than the prior art apparatus which has a purely mechanical action.
