Effects of Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation Therapy Combined with Buzhongyiqi Decoction on Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
Objective To explore the clinical effect of the combination therapy of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine on pelvic floor dysfunction(PFD)in postpartum women.Methods 100 patients with postpartum PFD,all of whom were primiparous women and had sin-gle pregnancy and full-term delivery,were selected and randomly divided into the experimental group(n=50)and the control group(n=50).In the control group,the pelvic floor rehabilitation therapy of pelvic floor electrical stimulation+biofeedback was conducted twice a week for about 30 min each time,10 times in one course of treatment,and one course of treatment was consecu-tively carried out;the experimental group was further treated with Buzhongyiqi decoction,a TCM drug,continuously for 1 month for 1 course of treatment,and was treated for 3 courses of treat-ment in total.The pelvic floor muscle strength and efficiency,pelvic organ prolapse,and stress uri-nary incontinence were compared between the 2 groups after treatment.Results After treatment,the pelvic floor muscle strength and effective rate of the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group,and the incidence of pelvic organ prolapse and stress urina-ry incontinence of the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group(all P<0.05).Conclusion The pelvic floor rehabilitation therapy combined with Buzhongyiqi de-coction might improve pelvic floor muscle strength,relieve pelvic organ prolapse,and alleviate stress urinary incontinence in postpartum patients with PFD.
