Abstract:[Abstract]Objective To investigate the effectiveness of pelvic floor neuromuscular electrical stimulation combined with Vagina dumbbell for improving female stress urinary incontinence,to find a more economical and effective method to improve the pelvic floor function of patients with urinary incontinence.Methods A total of 61 cases women with urinary incontinence in our hospital from January 2015 to June 2018 were selected and randomly divided into group A(30 cases)and group B (31 cases).Group A was given electrical stimulation therapy (2 times a week,a total of 10 times),group B was given electrical stimulation(2 times a week,a total of 10 times)combined with vagina dumbbell(at least 8 to 10 weeks).The ICI-Q-SF score of urinary incontinence symptoms before treatment and 3 months after treatment in the two groups was evaluated by the questionnaire of the International Urinary Incontinence Advisory Committee.The improvement of urinary incontinence and cure rate in the two groups were compared after treatment.Results The score of urinary incontinence in the two groups after treatment was significantly lower than that before treatment,the score of urinary incontinence in group B after treatment was significantly lower than that in group A (P<0.05).The cure rate of urinary incontinence in group B(51.61%)was significantly higher than that of group A(26.67%)(P=0.046).Conclusion Pelvic floor neuromuscular electrical stimulation combined with vagina dumbbell can significantly improve pelvic floor muscle function and the symptoms of urinary incontinence in women.
