Abstract
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of a new pelvic muscle gymnastic exercise in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI).Methods Prospectively,we randomly recruited 60 cases with mild and moderate SUI.We use ICI-Q-SF,pad Test and urodynamics to assess the degree of incontinence,volume of leakage,maximum urethral pressure and functional urethral length before and after intervention.Results The ICI-Q-SF score,volume of leakage,maximum urethral closure pressure and functional urethral length in study group before treatment were 11.6 ±4.2,(5.9 ±2.2) ml,(39.4 ± 12.5) cm H2O and (2.5 ±1.2) cm.The indicators in control group were 10.3 ±2.2,(5.8 ±1.3) ml,(41.3 ±8.9) cm H2O and (2.1 ± 0.5) cm respectively.There was no significant difference between the 2 groups (P > 0.05).The ICI-Q-SF score,volune of leakage and maximum urethral closure pressure in study group after treatment were 7.7 ± 2.7,(1.8 ± 1.2) ml and (65.9 ± 8.9) cm H2O,which were significantly improved than the values of10.1 ±2.1,(5.7 ± 1.1) ml and (44.6 ±9.5) cm H2O in control group (P <0.05).Conclusions The new pelvic muscle exercise may play an important role in the treatment of mild and moderate SUI.Therefore,it could be recommended to the patients with mild and moderate SUI. Key words: Urinary incontinience, stress; Pelvic muscle exercise
