Abstract

Objective: To determine the clinical value of applying individualized postpartum pelvic floor rehabilitation at different time points in the early postpartum period. Methods: 184 patients admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangsu University from February 2021 to December 2022 were included in the study. Upon admission, they were divided into two groups, a conventional group (n = 46) and an intervention group (n = 138), by the random number table method. The patients in the conventional group underwent postpartum routine rehabilitation, while those in the intervention group underwent individualized postpartum pelvic floor rehabilitation. The patients in the intervention group were further divided into intervention group 1 (6–8 weeks), intervention group 2 (8–10 weeks), and intervention group 3 (10–13 weeks) according to the time of care. The rehabilitation effects were compared between the groups. Results: The pelvic floor muscle function of the patients in the intervention group was more ideal compared with those in the conventional group, and the incidence of adverse reactions was lower among patients in the intervention group; the comparison of the above indicators was statistically significant (P < 0.05); however, there was no significant difference in the relevant indicators among intervention group 1, group 2, and group 3 (P > 0.05). Conclusion: Although our study showed no significant difference in the effects of individualized postpartum pelvic floor rehabilitation at different time points in the early postpartum period, individualized postpartum pelvic floor rehabilitation in the early postpartum period has definite clinical value, as it improves pelvic floor muscle function and reduces the incidence of adverse reactions.
