Abstract
ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of biofeedback electrical stimulation combined with pelvic floor rehabilitation training on postpartum pelvic floor function recovery.
MethodsA total of 86 postpartum patients in Sanmenxia Central Hospital from August 2019 to October 2021 were selected, and they were divided into observation group and control group according to the random number table method, with 43 cases in each group. The control group received pelvic floor rehabilitation training, while the observation group received biofeedback electrical stimulation combined with pelvic floor rehabilitation training. The rehabilitation effect, pelvic organ prolapse status, pelvic floor muscle strength, vaginal pressure and contraction duration, and complications were compared between the two groups after intervention.
ResultsThe improvement rate of the observation group (97.67%, 42/43) was higher than that of the control group (81.40%, 35/43), P<0.05. The pelvic organ prolapse in the observation group was better than that in the control group (P<0.05). After intervention, the voltage values of class I muscle fibers and class II muscle fibers in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (both P<0.05). After intervention, the vaginal resting pressure in the observation group was higher than that in the control group, and the duration of vaginal contraction was longer than that in the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between the observation group (9.30%, 4/43) and the control group (16.28%, 7/43), P>0.05.
ConclusionsThe application of biofeedback electrical stimulation combined with pelvic floor rehabilitation training in postpartum pelvic floor function recovery can improve the recovery rate of patients, improve the condition of pelvic prolapse, alleviate pelvic floor muscle strength, and increase vaginal contractility.
