Efficacy of optimized pelvic floor training of YUN combined with pelvic floor magnetic stimulation on female moderate stress urinary incontinence and sexual function: a retrospective cohort study.

BACKGROUND

Owing to its tediousness and monotony, traditional pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is difficult to ensure the correctness of exercise, and it is difficult for patients to adhere to treatment. We designed this study to evaluate and analyze the efficacy of optimized pelvic floor training of YUN combined with pelvic floor magnetic stimulation on female moderate stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and sexual function.

METHODS

This is a retrospective cohort study. This study was carried out in 95 female patients with moderate SUI. The inclusion criteria were as follows: premenopausal women aged 25-45; moderate SUI; over 3 months of disease duration; informed consent and cooperation with treatment and follow-up. The participants in group 1 (control group, n=46) were treated with pelvic floor magnetic stimulation, while those in group 2 (trial group, n=49) were treated with pelvic floor magnetic stimulation combined with optimized pelvic floor training of YUN. Evaluations were scheduled before the treatment (0 week), after 6 weeks of treatment (6 weeks), and after 12 weeks of treatment (12 weeks). And compare the differences between the two groups.

RESULTS

There was no significant difference in age, body mass index (BMI), duration of disease, and abdominal leak point pressure (ALPP) between the two groups (P>0.05). The total effective rate of the trial group was higher than that of the control group (89.80%, 44/49 78.26%, 36/46) (P<0.05). The electromyographic values, the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form (ICI-Q-SF) score, Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire-12 (PISQ-12) score, physiological factors, and emotional factors were all improved significantly in both groups after active treatment, and the improvement of the trial group was more obvious (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONS

Optimized pelvic floor training of YUN combined with pelvic floor magnetic are more effective for the treatment of female moderate SUI and sexual function. It has become a safe, effective, and well tolerated new type of pelvic floor functional reconstruction training method with good patient compliance.
