Abstract:Objective To explore the effect of core stability training combined with electrical stimulation on pelvic floor muscle strength, bladder control, and sexual quality of life in elderly postpartum women.Methods The 120 elderly postpartum women who delivered in our hospital from January 2021 to January 2023 were selected and randomly divided into groups A, B, and C by the random number table method, with 40 cases in each group. Group A received postpartum core stability training, group B received electrical stimulation, and group C received core stability training combined with electrical stimulation. The pelvic floor muscle strength, bladder control, scores of urinary incontinence, and scores of sexual quality of life were compared among the three groups.Results The group C exhibited higher sustained contraction pressure of type I muscle fiber, number of contractions of type II muscle fiber, and rapid contraction pressure of type II muscle fiber and longer contraction duration of type I muscle fiber compared with those in groups A and B (P < 0.05). The incidence of urinary incontinence in group C was lower than that in groups A and B (P < 0.05). The difference of the ICI-Q-SF score before and after treatment in group C was higher than that in groups A and B (P < 0.05). The differences of the scores of sexual desire, vaginal lubrication, orgasm and sexual satisfaction before and after treatment in group C were higher than those in groups A and B (P < 0.05).Conclusion The core stability training combined with electrical stimulation exhibits great clinical efficacy for improving pelvic floor muscle strength, bladder control, and sexual quality of life in elderly postpartum women.
