Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the effect of biofeedback electrical stimulation on the prevention of stress urinary incontinence and pelvic floor muscle strength during postpartum rehabilitation.Methods:A total of 200 parturients who gave birth in Ningde Municipal Hospital of Ningde Normal University from October 2021 to April 2022 were included as research objects and divided into the control group and the observation group according to different rehabilitation programs, with 100 cases in each group. The control group was given routine rehabilitation, and the observation group was given biofeedback electrical stimulation on the basis of the control group, the parturients in the two groups were treated for 3 months. The occurrence of stress urinary incontinence in the two groups was compared, and the pelvic floor muscle strength before and after treatment were compared between the two groups. The scores of International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form (ICI-Q-SF) and Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire-7 (PFIQ-7) were compared between the two groups.Results:The total incidence of stress urinary incontinence in the observation group was lower than that in the control group: 4.00%(4/100) vs. 15.00%(15/100), there was statistical difference( χ2 = 9.00, P<0.05). After treatment, the muscle strength grade, class Ⅰ muscle fiber, class Ⅱ muscle fiber and average voltage of pelvic floor muscle in the observation group were higher than those in the control group: (3.85 ± 0.27) grades vs. (3.74 ± 0.32) grades, (10.23 ± 1.17) μV vs. (8.84 ± 1.13) μV, (11.56 ± 0.19) μV vs. (10.98 ± 0.24) μV, (18.12 ± 3.24) μV vs. (14.69 ± 3.01) μV, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). After treatment, the scores of ICI Q-SF and PFIQ-7 in the observation group were lower than those in the control group: (7.02 ± 1.26) scores vs. (8.26 ± 1.15) scores, (18.96 ± 4.31) scores vs. (24.17 ± 5.62) scores, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The application of biofeedback electrical stimulation in postpartum rehabilitation can reduce the incidence of stress urinary incontinence, improve postpartum pelvic floor muscle strength, and reduce the impact of stress urinary incontinence and pelvic floor muscle disorder on daily life.
