Abstract：Objective To evaluate the application value of three-dimensional (3-D) ultrasound in the evaluation of postpartum pelvic floor muscle training in primiparae after spontaneous labor.Methods A total of 66 primiparas of spontaneous labor admitted to our hospital from August 2015 to March 2017 were randomly assigned to observation group and control group using a table of random digits,with 33 patients in each group.The observation group received function training of pelvic floor muscle,in contrast to the control group.LHLR,LHAP,LHC and LHA were measured at 6 and 14 weeks postpartum respectively by 3-D ultrasound in three different states (resting state,Valsalva state,and contracting state).Results Compared with the control group,LHLR,LHAP,LHC and LHA in the observation group at 14 weeks postpartum were lower at resting,Valsalva and contracting state,and the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).As compared with the 6 weeks postpartum in this group,all the above measurement indexes of the observation group were significantly reduced 14 weeks postpartum (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion 3-D pelvic floor ultrasound can objectively evaluate the clinical effect of pelvic floor muscle exercise,which can significantly improve the pelvic floor structure and function damage during normal labor.
