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.
