effects of different treatment methods on the clinical and urodynamic state of perimenopausal women with stress urinary incontinence

Background: this study was designed to investigate the clinical effects of different treatment methods on stress urinary incontinence (sui) in perimenopausal women, and to evaluate urodynamic characteristics. methods: seventy-two menopausal female patients with stress urinary incontinence were included in the second affiliated hospital of soochow university from january 2016 to july 2017. the cases were divided into 3 groups of 24 each, depending on the treatment received. group a patients received treatment with electrical stimulation combined with biofeedback; those in group b received conventional pelvic floor muscle exercise therapy; and those in group c did not have any treatment. relevant clinical parameters of urination were determined including pelvic floor muscle strengths, urine dynamics indexes and ics quality of life survey scores; results were averaged in each group for comparisons among the three groups before and after the 60-day study period. results: after treatment for 60 days, both group a and b patients displayed a clear improvement in their urinary incontinence, pelvic floor muscle strength, leakage times, frequency of urination, urine dynamics index and ics scores (p<0.05), with group a showing the most improvement. women in group c showed no signif-icant difference before and after the 60-day study period (p>0.05). conclusion: both the method of electrical stimulation combined with biofeedback, and conventional pelvic floor muscle exercises could help perimenopausal women with stress urinary incontinence; however, electrical stimulation combined with biological feedback seems to bring about better clinical effects.
