Clinical outcomes of pelvic floor muscle training, electrical stimulation, and magnetic stimulation in women with postpartum stress urinary incontinence: a retrospective cohort study

Listen to this summary

This study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) alone versus PFMT combined with electrical stimulation (ES) or magnetic stimulation (MS) in women with postpartum stress urinary incontinence (PSUI). The results indicated that both ES and MS significantly improved pelvic floor function, reduced urine leakage, and enhanced quality of life compared to PFMT alone, with MS showing the most favorable outcomes. However, the study's non-randomized design limits the ability to establish causal relationships.
