Effects of Pelvic Floor Muscle Exercise Combined with Electrical Stimulation on Patients after Extensive Hysterectomy
Abstract：Objective:To investigate the effects of pelvic floor exercises combined with electrical stimulation on patients after extensive hysterectomy.Methods:A total of 120 cases of extensive hysterectomy were divided into the study group and the control group according to the time of admission,60 cases in each group.The control group received routine nursing care,and the study group implemented pelvic floor muscle exercises combined with electrical stimulation on the basis of the control group.The incidence of postoperative complications,indwelling time of urethral catheter,residual urine volume and pelvic floor muscle strength classification were compared between the two groups.Results:The study group′s incidence rates of urinary tract infection,urinary retention,dysuria,reset the catheter once were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05).Catheter indwelling time and first extubation residual urine volume were significantly less than those of control group (P<0.001).The pelvic floor muscle strength classification on 21 days after the operation was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion:The pelvic floor muscle training combined with electrical stimulation for extensive hysterectomy patients during the perioperative period can promote the recovery of automatic micturition function,shorten the time of indwelling catheter,reduce the incidence of urinary retention and urinary tract infection,and improve the pelvic floor muscle strength.
