Abstract To explore the effect of the pelvic floor function recovery of the transvaginal electrical stimulation and biofeedback training combined with vaginal dumbbell Kegel exercise for treating patients with postpartum anterior vaginal prolapse, and to study these treatments on the pelvic floor electrophysiological indicators and the pelvic organ prolapse quantitation (POP-Q) score of these patients. Methods: Totally 135 patients with postpartum anterior vaginal prolapse were selected and were divided into two groups by the simple randomization method from November 2019 to November 2021. 68 patients in the observation were given the treatment of pelvic floor function recovery of the transvaginal electrical stimulation and biofeedback training combined with vaginal dumbbell Kegel exercise, and 67 patients in the control group were given the treatment of vaginal dumbbell Kegel exercise alone. The changes of the pelvic floor electrophysiological indicators, such as fatigue degree and electromyography value of the type I muscle fiber and type II muscle fiber, the bladder function indexes, such as first bladder volume (FVS), maximum bladder volume (MVS), and post-voiding residual volume (PVR), the anterior vaginal prolapse situation evalued by POP-Q, and the quality of life evalued by pelvic floor impact questionnaire-7 (PFIQ-7) of the patients before treatment and after 2 months of treatment were compared between the two groups. Results: After 2 months of treatment, the fatigue degree and electromyography value of the type I muscle fiber and the type II muscle fiber, and the values of FVS, MVS of the patients in both groups had increased significantly, and which of the patients in the observation group were significantly higher than those of the patients in the control group. The PVR value and the PFIQ-7 score of the patients in both groups had decreased significantly, and which (5.29±1.76ml and 42.38±10.65 points) of the patients in the observation group were significantly lower than those (7.88±2.13ml and 65.30±14.25 points) of the patients in the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Vaginal electrical stimulation and biofeedback training combined with vaginal dumbbell Kegel exercise for treating patients with postpartum anterior vaginal prolapse can significantly improve their contraction function of pelvic floor muscle, and which is beneficial to the prognosis of the patients.
