| Objective: To observe the effect of traditional Chinese medicine fumigation on Du meridian combined with biofeedback training on postpartum pelvic floor dysfunction (PPFD). Methods: A total of 180 patients with PPFD were collected and divided into three groups using a random number table method: A, B and C. All three groups were given routine treatment for 8 weeks, including Kegel exercise 3 times a day and vaginal dumbbell pelvic floor muscle exercise once a day. In group A, Chinese medicine fumigation on Du meridian was given on the basis of conventional treatment. In group B, the biofeedback training was given on the basis of routine treatment. In group C, the combined treatment was given. Pelvic floor muscle strength, urodynamics, pelvic floor neuromuscular electrophysiological indicators, pelvic floor dysfunction impact questionnaire (PFIQ-7), pelvic floor symptom impact questionnaire (PFDI-20), and pelvic organ prolapse and urinary incontinence function questionnaire (PISQ-12) were compared. Results: After treatment, the normal rate of pelvic floor muscle strength, maximum urethral closure pressure (MUCP), functional urethral length (FUL), bladder compliance (BC), stress leakage point pressure (SLPP), maximum fast muscle contraction, average 10-s slow muscle contraction, and PISQ-12 in all three groups were significantly higher than before treatment (P<0.05), and those in group C were significantly higher than those in group A and group B (P<0.05). After treatment, the PFIQ-7 and PFDI-20 of the three groups were lower than before treatment (P<0.05), and those in group C were lower than in group A and group B (P<0.05). Conclusion: Traditional Chinese medicine fumigation on Du meridian combined with biofeedback training can improve pelvic floor muscle strength, urodynamics, pelvic floor neuromuscular electrophysiological indicators, pelvic floor function, sexual function of patients with PPFD, and alleviate PPFD related symptoms. |
