Abstract To exploring the effects of the temperaturecontrolled radiofrequency technology combined with pelvic floor muscle electrical stimulation for treating women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) on their pelvic abdominal dynamics. Methods: From January 2021 to December 2023, 102 women with SUI were selected and were divided into control group (51 cases with the treatment of pelvic floor muscle electrical stimulation) and study group (51 cases with the treatment of temperaturecontrolled radio frequency technology combined with pelvic floor muscle electrical stimulation) by the random number table method. The two groups were compared in terms of the results of 1-hour urine cushion test and the urination diary, the international urinary incontinence questionnaire summary table (ICI-Q-SF) score and the pelvic floor muscle strength of the women were compared between the two groups. Results: The weight of urine pad of the women in the two groups in 3 months, 6 months or 12 months after treatment had decreased significantly, and which (1.6±0.5g, 1.5±0.5g or 2.3±0.6g) of the women the study group was significantly lower than that (2.4±0.6g, 2.5±0.5g or 4.2±1.1g) of the women in the control group. The maximum urine volume of the women in the two groups in 12 months after treatment had increased significantly, and the total number of leakage and total micturition frequency of the women in the two groups in 12 months after treatment had decreased significantly, and the improvements (225.51±48.38 ml, 11.33±3.85 times/3d and 26.51±6.21 times/3d) of which of the women in the study group were significantly better than those (194.37±48.11 ml, 15.2±4.01 times/3d and 33.41±5.79 times/3d) of the women in the control group. The ICI-Q-SF score of the women in the two groups in 3 months, 6 months or 12 months after treatment had decreased significantly, and which (5.86±1.66 points, 6.88±2.31 points or 8.04±2.16 points) of the women in the study group were significantly lower than those (7.65±2.36 points, 9.82±2.92 points or 10.14±3.16 points) of the women in the control group. The good rate of pelvic floor muscle strength of the women in the two groups in the 12th month after treatment had increased significantly, and which (98.0%) of the women in the study group was significantly higher than that (80.4%) of the women in the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion: The temperaturecontrolled radiofrequency technology combined with the pelvic floor muscle electrical stimulation for treating the women with SUI can alleviate their degree of urinary incontinence and improve their pelvic floor muscle strength.
