Effect of Pregnancy and Delivery on the Pelvic Floor Function / 实用妇产科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the change of petvic floor function in the third trimester of pregnancy and early postpartum.Methods:46 pregnant women in the third trimester in our hosprtal from July to October 2007 were randomly selected.In late pregnancy, 6 ～8 weeks and 12 ～14 weeks after delivery, the incidenca of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and bladder neck mobility in different stage of puerperium was carried out.They were respectively given score, protectrve pad experiment, ultrasonic testing residual urine and peri-neum ultrasound examination.An anarysis on their.Results:The incidence of SUI that diagnosis by POP-Q or POP-Q combined with pat test was 47.83% ,39.13% respectively in late pregnancy group;21.74% ,15.22% in 6 ～8 weeks after delivery;17.24%.13.7g% in 12 ～14 weeks after delivery.The difference between late pregnancy group and 6～8 waeks after delivery group was statistical significance (P<0.05).There was no significantly difference between 6 ～8 weeks and 12 ～14 weeks after delivery groups(P>0.05).There was significant difference between 6 ～ 8 weeks and 12～14 weeks after delivery group while compared the bladder neck angle[(88.11± 13.36)° vs(82.17 ±10.28)°]with the bladder neck rotation angle[(21.67 ±10.64) ° vs (16.79±8.57) °].Conclusions:Pregnancy and delivery can damage the function of pelvic floor, which has certain rehabilitation after delivery.
