Abstract：Objectives To evaluate the therapeutic effectiveness of biofeedback combined with electrical stimulation on severe postpartum pelvic floor dysfunction after vaginal delivery or cesarean section. Methods 130 cases of severe pelvic floor dysfunction diagnosed at 42 days postpartum visit were selected to accept ten times therapy of biofeedback combined with electrical stimulation,including 70 cases of vaginal birth and 60 cases of cesarean section. Quantitative reassessment of the maternal pelvic lfoor muscle strength of type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ were done using the PHENIX tester at 3 months and 6 months postpartum. Results Regardless of vaginal delivery or cesarean section,typeⅠand typeⅡsevere pelvic lfoor muscle strength decline in patients increased signiifcantly after one therapy procedure of biofeedback combined with electrical stimulation(P<0.01),type Ⅰand type Ⅱ of pelvic lfoor muscle strength continued to increase in vaginal birth group at 3 months and 6 monthes, otherwise, compared to the 3 months and 6 months,type Ⅰ muscle strength remained, while the class Ⅱ strength decreased slightly in cesarean section group. Conclusions Biofeedback electrical stimulation in treatment of severe pelvic lfoor dysfunction may have obvious curative effect. More therapy procedures should be needed in severe postpartum pelvic lfoor dysfunction patients after cesarean section.
