Correlation between pelvic floor pain and pelvic floor injury in female patients with lower urinary tract disease

Abstract

Objective To investigate the relationship between pelvic floor pain and pelvic floor injury in female patients with lower urinary tract disease. Methods Transvaginal and rectal pelvic floor acupressure was used to perform pelvic floor pain point examination in women with lower urinary tract disease. The number of tender points and the pain point of tenderness were recorded. Results The positive rate of pelvic pain points was 61.5% (3 507 checkpoints, 2 156 checkpoints had tenderness); there was a difference in the degree of pain caused by pain points in different regions (H=159.144, P<0.01). There was no difference in pain level between the P3 area, P4 and P5 areas and P2 (adjust P=1), and the pain points of the other areas were statistically different from the pain level (adjust P<0.01). Conclusions The density of tender points and degree of pain in pain points in female pelvic floor are related to the pelvic floor injury. It is of clinical significance to evaluate the degree of pelvic floor injury by taking the pelvic floor pain point.
