Background: To investigate the effect of extracorporeal magnetic wave
pelvic floor therapy combined with pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) on pelvic
floor muscle strength and the degree of pelvic organ prolapse in patients with
postpartum pelvic floor dysfunction. Methods: A total of 100 patients
with postpartum pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) who were treated in Lishui
People’s Hospital from January 2020 to May 2022 were selected as the research
objects. According to the random number table method, they were divided into a
control group of 50 cases and an observation group of 50 cases. The control group
received pelvic floor muscle training, and the observation group received
extracorporeal magnetic wave pelvic floor therapy combined with PFMT on its
basis, and the two groups received continuous treatment for 8 weeks. The clinical
efficacy; Pelvic floor muscle strength classification; Pelvic organ prolapse
quantitative scale (POP-Q) score Ap and C index points; Pelvic floor dysfunction
questionnaire (PFDI-20) and Pelvic floor dysfunction questionnaire (PFIQ-7) score
were compared between the two groups. Results: Compared with the control
group (70.00%), the total clinical effective rate (96.00%) of the observation
group was significantly increased (p 0.05); compared with before
treatment, the proportion of pelvic floor muscle strength of grade 0 in the
observation group was significantly decreased, and the proportion of grade Ⅳ was
significantly increased after treatment, and the proportion of pelvic floor
muscle strength of grade 0 in the observation group was significantly lower than
that in the control group, and the proportion of grade Ⅳ was significantly higher
than that in the control group (p 0.05); Compared with before
treatment, the POP-Q scores Ap and C index points in the two groups were
significantly decreased after treatment, and the POP-Q scores Ap and C index
points in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the
control group (p 0.05); Compared with before treatment, the PFDI-20
scores and PFIQ-7 scores in the two groups after treatment were significantly
decreased, and the PFDI-20 scores and PFIQ-7 scores in the observation group were
significantly lower than those in the control group (p 0.05).
Conclusions: Extracorporeal magnetic wave pelvic floor therapy combined
with PFMT can effectively improve the clinical efficacy of PFD patients, improve
pelvic floor muscle strength, reduce the degree of pelvic organ prolapse, and
improve the quality of life of patients, which has a high clinical reference
value. Clinical Trial Registration: The study was registered at https://www.chictr.org.cn (registration number ChiCTR1900024783).
