ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To explore the clinical efficacy and safety of pelvic floor magnetic and electrical stimulation combined with Kegel exercise training in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) after minimally invasive surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). 【Methods】 A total of 52 patients with SUI after minimally invasive surgery for BPH treated during Jan.2016 and Feb.2022 were randomly divided into test group (n=26) and control group (n=26). The test group received pelvic floor magnetic and electrical stimulation and Kegel exercise training, while the control group received Kegel exercise training only. The treatment lasted for 3 months. The scores of International Consultation on Incontinence Modular Questionnaire Short Form (ICIQ-SF), 1 h pad test, International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and Incontinence Quality of Life Questionnaire (I-QoL) were recorded and compared between the two groups before and after treatment. The adverse reactions were observed. 【Results】 The scores of ICIQ-SF, IPSS and I-QoL and 1 h pad test significantly decreased in both groups after treatment (P0.05), but after treatment, the scores of ICIQ-SF,IPSS,I-QoL and 1 h pad test were significantly lower in the test group than in the control group (P<0.05). No severe adverse reactions were observed. 【Conclusion】 Pelvic floor magnetic stimulation combined with Kegel exercise training is safe and effective for SUI after minimally invasive surgery for BPH.
