AbstractObjective To explore the application effect of biofeedback electrical stimulation combined with Kegel training in postpartum rehabilitation. Methods A total of 146 cases of postpartum rehabilitation mothers who received treatment in the outpatient department of Characteristics Medical Center of PLA Rocket Force from January 2022 to January 2024 were selected and divided into observation group (n=73) and control group (n=73) according to randomized numerical table method. Kegel training was carried out in the control group, and the observation group was combined with biofeedback electric stimulation treatment for 8 weeks. Pelvic floor muscle strength, pelvic floor function and sexual quality of life were compared between the two groups before and after treatment. Results After treatment, the muscle strength of class I and class II fibers of the two groups improved compared with that before treatment (P<0.05), and the pelvic floor muscle strength of the observation group was higher than that of the control group [(4.52±0.57) vs. (2.31±0.53), (4.37±0.62) vs. (2.53±0.55)] (P<0.05); after treatment, the scores of the pelvic floor dysfunction inventory (PFDI-20) of the two groups improved compared with that before treatment (P<0.05), and the scores of pelvic, bladder, and bowel dimensions of the observation group were higher than that of the control group [(80.51±5.73) scores vs. (73.28±5.73) scores before (P<0.05), and the pelvic, bladder, and bowel dimension scores of the observation group were higher than those of the control group [(80.51±5.73) vs. (73.28±5.26), (82.53±6.02) vs. (76.68±5.84), and (78.67±5.66) vs. (73.05±4.72)] (P<0.05); after treatment, the Female Sexual Function Inventory (FSFI) scores of the two groups improved compared with the pre-treatment period (P<0.05), and the scores of the observation group were higher than those of the control group [(19.03±1.73) points vs. (15.16±1.52) points] (P<0.05). Conclusions Biofeedback electrical stimulation combined with Kegel training can improve pelvic floor muscle strength, pelvic floor function and sexual life quality.
