PURPOSE: This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of early pelvic floor rehabilitation bioelectrical stimulation (BES) in postpartum stress urinary incontinence (SUI). METHODS: a total of 120 patients with postpartum SUI were divided into two groups: normal group and combined group. The normal group received conventional pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT), and the combined group received pelvic floor rehabilitation BES based on the normal group. International consultation on incontinence questionnaire short form, female sexual function index, pelvic floor muscle strength, and urine pad test were used. Pelvic floor function and urodynamic level were detected. Serum estradiol, luteinizing hormone, and progesterone were detected. RESULTS: The clinical effective rate of the normal group and the combined group was 68.3% and 96.7%, and the complication rate was 30.0% and 10.0%, respectively. Compared to the normal group, the female sexual function index score and pelvic floor muscle strength were significantly increased, and the urine leakage and incontinence questionnaire short form score were significantly decreased in the combined group 12 weeks later. CONCLUSION: PFMT plus rehabilitation BES can visibly improve the vaginal function, pelvic floor function, and urodynamics of patients with postpartum SUI.
