Objective:
To investigate the clinical effect of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) plus biofeedback electrical stimulation (BES) on stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
Methods:
110 patients with SUI admitted to our hospital in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology from November 2018 to November 2019 were selected and divided into control group (n=55) and study group (n=55). The study group received PFMT plus BES while the control group received PFMT alone.
Results:
Compared with the control group, the incontinence quality of life (I-QOL) score and the international consultation on incontinence questionnaire-urinary incontinence short form (ICI-Q-SF) score in the study group were significantly better (P<0.05), and the patients had better pelvic floor muscle endurance, strength, and coordination (P<0.05).
Conclusion:
PFMT plus BES could improve the strength, endurance, and coordination of pelvic floor muscles in SUI patients. It can positively influence the improvement of the I-QOL and ICI-Q-SF scores.
