Side effects of pelvic floor electrical stimulation

After giving birth, whether it is a natural birth or a caesarean section, women hope to recover as soon as possible. After giving birth, women will experience pelvic floor muscle relaxation. The impact and harm of pelvic floor muscle relaxation on women's bodies are very large, and it is necessary to pay attention to and actively carry out rehabilitation training and treatment. Pelvic floor muscle electrical stimulation is a common repair method. What are the side effects of pelvic floor muscle electrical stimulation?

A small amount of vaginal bleeding may occur during pelvic floor electrical stimulation treatment, but treatment can be continued. If there is heavy vaginal bleeding, pain or discomfort, the pelvic floor muscle electrical stimulation can be temporarily stopped to find out the cause of the vaginal bleeding and provide symptomatic treatment. Pelvic floor muscle electrical stimulation is mainly used to strengthen the contraction of the urethral sphincter and inhibit the contraction of the bladder detrusor muscle, thereby increasing the capacity of the bladder and enhancing the urine storage function. It is recommended that mothers receive treatment twice a week for 8 consecutive weeks. Pelvic floor electrical stimulation is relatively safe, has no side effects, is a non-invasive operation, does not cause obvious discomfort, and has analgesic function.

Individualized postpartum pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation

The pelvic floor injury of each parturient is different, and each person's initial muscle contraction ability and learning ability are different. Some parturients have better type I fiber contraction ability, some parturients have better type II fiber contraction ability, and a small number of parturients cannot even recognize pelvic floor muscle contraction.

Therefore, there is no unified treatment standard or fixed training model for postpartum pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation. It is necessary to follow the principle of individualized treatment, make timely adjustments based on the individual situation of each parturient and the effects of the rehabilitation process, and develop individualized training models and plans.

The exploration of individualized customized rehabilitation for postpartum pelvic floor rehabilitation has just begun. There is still a lot of work to be done in the future. A large amount of clinical experience needs to be summarized. This presents a challenge for obstetricians and OB/GYNs. How to carry out individualized treatment effectively in the long term is still a problem to be solved. The pain will be reduced through personalized customized electrical stimulation of the pelvic floor muscles. Everyone should maintain a positive attitude to deal with the treatment.
