Abstract
Objective To compare the associations between different modes of delivery and the pelvic floor function of primiparous women at early postpartum through pelvic floor muscle surface electromyography(sEMG).
Design Retrospective observational study.
Population A total of 3638 primiparas who experienced singleton delivery were selected as the research objects.
Methods There were 1469 cases of cesarean section delivery (CD) and 2169 cases of vaginal delivery (VD). Furthermore, the vaginal delivery group were separated into four subgroups. The pelvic floor sEMG indexes of the subjects were analyzed at 6–8 weeks postpartum.
