The evaluation of levator ani contraction function in early postpartum women by three-
dimensional ultrasound and pelvic floor muscle electrophysiological assessment
Abstract：Objective: To evaluate the application value of the levator ani contraction function in early postpartum women by using the three-dimensional ultrasound and pelvic floor muscle electrophysiological assessment. Methods: A total of 60 primiparas without pelvic floor dysfunction who review in postpartum 6~8 weeks were selected as study objects in Xuzhou Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital from March 2016 to March 2018, and then they were divided into natural delivery group 30 cases, and cesarean section group 30 cases, randomly according the ratio 1∶1. Meanwhile, cases of 30 healthy nulliparas were chosen as control group during the same period. The three-dimensional ultrasound and pelvic floor muscle electrophysiological assessment were performed in the three groups. The differences between the three groups were compared, and the correlations between the relative variation quantity of pelvic diaphragm hiatus under anus contracting condition and pelvic floor electrophysiological parameters were analyzed. Results: The relative variation quantity of pelvic diaphragm hiatus under anus contracting condition were positively correlated to pelvic floor electrophysiological parameters, and the correlation coefficient was 0.37~0.68. Conclusion: The three-dimensional ultrasound and pelvic floor muscle electrophysiological assessment have significances in evaluation on the levator ani contraction function.
