Effective Prevention of Postpartum Stress Urinary Incontinence through Prenatal Pelvic Floor Training Programme Based on the Internet Platform: A Retrospective Study.

Objective: Postpartum stress urinary incontinence (SUI) seriously affects women's reproductive health. This study aimed to analyse the clinical effect of a prenatal pelvic floor training programme based on the Internet platform on the prevention of postpartum SUI.

Methods: The clinical data of 186 postpartum women admitted to our hospital from April 2021 to April 2023 were selected for retrospective study. Eight postpartum women who did not meet the inclusion criteria were excluded, and the remaining postpartum women were divided into the reference group (n = 85) and observation group (n = 93) according to different management schemes. The study collected the clinical indicators of the two groups and analysed the effects of different prenatal training programmes on postpartum SUI.

Results: The observation group had higher maximum value of postpartum fast muscle contraction than the reference group (p < 0.001). The observation group had higher maximum bladder pressure measurement volume and maximum flow rate than the reference group (p < 0.05). Compared with the reference group, the observation group had significantly higher Short-Form-36 Health Survey scores (all p < 0.001). The observation group had significantly lower incidence of postpartum SUI than the reference group (p < 0.001).

Conclusions: The implementation of the pelvic floor training programme based on the Internet platform before delivery is helpful to improve pelvic floor muscle function and effectively prevent postpartum SUI.
