Objective To explore the rehabilitation effect of pelvic floor muscle training combined with traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of mild-moderate pelvic organ prolapse.Methods A prospective ease-control study,choosing 103 patients of mild-moderate pelvic organ prolapse from October 2012 to May 2014 in Maternal and Child Health Hospital Outpatient of Hunan Province,which were randomly divided into study group (52 cases) and control group (51 cases).All of the patients underwent two courses of pelvic floor muscle training,including Kegel exercise,biofeedback,electrical stimulation therapy,the study group combined with traditional Chinese medicine (Buzhongyiqitang) at the same time.The efficacy was analyzed before and after treatment of pelvic floor muscle strength,myoelectric potential and indexing of pelvic organ prolapse quantification (POP-Q) changes.Results There werent statistically significant differences in type Ⅰ and Ⅲ muscle fiber muscle strength and myoelectric potential of two groups before treatment,while the shrinkage index improved significantly after treatment,and the study group was significantly higher with statistically significant difference (P < 0.05).The effective rates of POP-Q indexing changes in two groups were 71.2% and 56.9%,respectively.The effective rate of the study group was significantly higher than the control group(P < 0.05).Conclusions The clinical efficacy of pelvic floor muscle training combined with Buzhongyiqitang in the treatment of mild-moderate pelvic organ prolapse was significant,and it had a good clinical value.
