ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of neuromuscular electrical stimulation intervention on urinary retention after gynecological vaginal surgery. MethodsNinety patients receiving total vaginal hysterectomy and anterior and posterior colporrhaphy were selected and randomly divided into control group, experimental groups A and B, with 30 cases in each group. The control group was administered routine nursing intervention, based on routine nursing intervention, the experimental groups A and B received neuromuscular electrical stimulation intervention before and after urethral catheter removal, respectively. The bladder function recovery of the three groups was observed, and their incidence rates of urinary retention, urethral catheter indwelling time, normal urination time, hospital stay, incidence rate of urinary tract infection, and satisfaction degree were compared. ResultsIn comparison with the control group, the experimental groups A and B yielded superior bladder function recovery, lower incidence rates of urinary retention and urinary tract infection, higher satisfaction degree, shorter urethral catheter indwelling time, normal urination time and hospital stay (all P＜0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the indicators mentioned above between the experimental groups A and B (all P＞0.05). ConclusionsNeuromuscular electrical stimulation intervention after gynecologic vaginal surgery can shorten urethral catheter indwelling time, promote bladder function recovery and reduce the incidence of postoperative urinary retention, which is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
