| Objective: To explore the effectiveness of Pilates+biomimetic electrical stimulation for postpartum pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD), and its impact on sexual life quality, pelvic floor function, etc. Methods: A total of 104 patients with postpartum PFD selected for outpatient treatment in our hospital were randomly divided into control group and experimental group, with 52 cases in each group. The control group received biomimetic electrical stimulation therapy, while the experimental group was given Pilates exercises in combination with biomimetic electrical stimulation therapy for 4 weeks. Two groups were compared in terms of pelvic floor muscle condition, pelvic floor function, relaxin H2, sexual quality of life, and adverse reactions. Results: After treatment, the vaginal dynamic pressure, contraction duration and contraction electromyography values in both groups were increased compared with those before treatment, and those in the experimental group were increased as compared with those in the control group (P<0.01). The scores of the Pelvic Floor Dysfunction Questionnaire (PFDI-20), the level of relaxin H2, and the score of the Short Questionnaire on the Effects of Pelvic Floor Disorders (PFIQ-7) in both groups were lower than those before treatment, and the scores in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.01). The scores of the Female Sexual Function Scale (FSFI) in both groups were increased compared with those before treatment, and the scores of the experimental group were higher than those of the control group (P<0.01). There was no obvious difference in the incidence of vaginal dryness and lower abdominal distension between the two groups. Conclusion: The combined intervention of Pilates and biomimetic electrical stimulation in postpartum PFD patients can effectively enhance pelvic floor muscle strength and improve pelvic floor function, with ideal results and high clinical application value. |
