Abstract To explore the effects of electrical stimulation biofeedback combined with manual massage for treating female sexual dysfunction (FSD) on the pelvic floor function and sex hormone levels of the women. Methods: A total of 76 women with FSD were selected and were divided into the control group (38 women given manual massage) and the observation group (38 women given electrical stimulation biofeedback combined with manual massage) according to the random number table method from May 2020 to August 2021. The total effective rate, the fatigue degrees of class I and class II muscle fiber, the vaginal dynamic pressure, the maximum value of fast muscle EMG, the pelvic floor muscle strength classification, and the levels of estradiol (E2), progesterone (P), folliclestimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and neuropeptide Y (NPY) of the women in the 8th week after treatment were compared between the two groups. Results: The total effective rate (94.7%) of the women after treatment in the observation group was significantly higher than that (76.3%) of the women in the control group. The fatigue degrees of class Ⅰand Ⅱ muscle fiber, the vaginal dynamic pressure, the maximum value of fast muscle EMG, and the E2, P, FSH, LH, and NPY levels of the women in the observation group were significantly higher than those of the women in the control group. The proportions of grade Ⅱ (2.6%) and grade Ⅲ (13.2%) in the pelvic floor muscle strength classification of the women in the observation group were significantly lower than those (23.7% and 42.1%) of the women in the control group, and the proportions of grade Ⅳ (44.7%) and grade Ⅴ (39.5%) of the women in the observation group were significantly higher than those (21.1% and 13.2%)of the women in the control group (all P＜0.05). Conclusion: Electrical stimulation biofeedback combined with manual massage for treating women with FSD can increase the clinical effect, which can not only improve their pelvic floor function, but also increase their levels of sex hormones.
