RESUMEN
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the clinical significance of using real-time three-dimensional transperineal ultrasound in conjunction with a combined magnetic and electrical repair approach for the treatment of postpartum pelvic floor dysfunction. Methods: Ninety patients with postpartum pelvic floor dysfunction were included and randomly assigned to the control or the observation group. The control group received Kegel pelvic floor rehabilitation training, while the observation group underwent real-time three-dimensional transperineal ultrasound examination, along with the training. Following assessment tools were used: Modified Oxford Scale (MOS) assessed pelvic floor muscle (PFM) strength and function; Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI-20) questionnaire assessed the distress and discomfort reported by patients concerning symptoms of genital prolapse, anal colorectal symptoms, and urinary symptoms; Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire (PFIQ-7) measured the impact of urinary, colorectal-anal, and genital prolapse symptoms on patients' activities, relationships, and feeling; and International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire (ICIQ) was utilized to assess urinary incontinence (UI) symptoms and their impact on an individual's quality of life (QoL). It was developed by an international committee of experts in the field of incontinence research and is available in multiple languages. ICIQ-UI Short Form focuses on the symptoms of urinary incontinence. It assesses the type, frequency, and amount of urine leakage, as well as the impact of UI on daily activities, such as work, social interactions, and emotional well-being. It also includes questions about the use of protective pads or aids. Results: The results showed significant improvements in pelvic floor muscle strength, symptom distress, and impact on activities, relationships, and feelings in the observation group compared to the control group. The MOS scores significantly increased in the observation group (P < .001), indicating improved PFM strength. The PFDI-20 scores significantly decreased in the observation group (P < .001), indicating reduced distress related to pelvic floor dysfunction symptoms. The PFIQ-7 scores also showed significant improvements in the observation group, indicating reduced impact on activities, relationships, and feelings. The ICIQ scores significantly decreased in the observation group, indicating reduced severity of UI symptoms and improved QoL. Conclusion: The findings of the study suggest that this innovative therapeutic strategy can be a potentially effective therapeutic option for postpartum pelvic floor dysfunction and has prospects for clinical implementation.
