1. A portable irrigation system, comprising:

  • a reservoir for an irrigation liquid;

    a probe for arrangement in a user;

    an electrical system, comprising;

    an electrical pump to directly or indirectly pump the irrigation liquid from the reservoir to the probe;

    a control unit coupled to the electrical pump to control the electrical pump, and thereby also to transfer said irrigation liquid; and

    tubing to provide fluid communication between said reservoir, said control unit and said probe;

    wherein said control unit comprises at least one manually operable control element to control said electrical pump, said control element being switchable between an activated state, in which the electrical pump is controlled to pump irrigation liquid, and a deactivated state, in which the electrical pump is controlled not to pump irrigation liquid, and wherein the control element is brought into the activated state by continuous application of a predetermined condition thereto, and wherein the control element is immediately brought to the deactivated state when the predetermined condition ceases to be applied, thereby aborting pumping of the irrigation liquid, wherein the probe further comprises an inflatable retention member and wherein separate control elements are provided for inflation and deflation of the inflatable retention member, said control elements being operative when depressed and immediately stopping the inflation or deflation process upon release.
