Abstrakt:	Objective: To explore the application of four-dimensional pelvic floor ultrasound in the diagnosis of postpartum pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) and evaluation of curative effect. Methods: A total of 100 patients with postpartum PFD undergoing vaginal delivery in the hospital were enrolled as the research objects between January 2020 and January 2023. A total of 100 postpartum women with good pelvic floor muscle function during the same period were enrolled as a control group. Both groups underwent four-dimensional pelvic floor ultrasound detection. The bladder neck descent (BND), retrovesical angle (RVA), urethral tilt angle (UTA), urethral rotation angle (ROT), levator ani thickness under rest state (LATr), levator ani thickness under Valsalva state (LATs), levator ani hiatus area under rest state (LHAr) and levator ani hiatus area under Valsalva state (LHAs) in both groups were compared. The patients in the study group were given Kegel training for pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation exercise and bio-feedback electrical stimulation. According to the clinical curative effect, patients in the study group were divided into a recovery group (n=87) and a non-recovery group (n=13). The value of four-dimensional pelvic floor ultrasound in the diagnosis of PFD and evaluation of curative effect was analyzed. Results: In the observation group, BND, RVA, UTA, ROT, LHAr, and LHAs were higher, while LATr and LATs were lower compared to the control group. (P < .05). The results of ROC curves analysis showed that the AUC of BND combined with RVA, UTA, ROT, LATr, LATs, LHAr, and LHAs in the diagnosis of PFD was 0.818, greater than that of the single index (0.728, 0.705, 0.680, 0.715, 0.677, 0.696, 0.719, 0.654; P < .05). BND, RVA, UTA, ROT, LHAr, and LHAs in the non-recovery group were higher than those in the recovery group, while LATr and LATs were lower than those in the recovery group (P < .05). The results of ROC curves analysis showed that the Area Under the Curve (AUC）of BND combined with RVA, UTA, ROT, LATr, LATs, LHAr, and LHAs for predicting the curative effect were 0.804, greater than that of a single index (0.725, 0.653, 0.651, 0.744, 0.733, 0.720, 0.661, 0.718; P < .05). Conclusion: Four-dimensional pelvic floor ultrasound can be applied to intuitively evaluate the structure and function of postpartum pelvic floor tissues, which can provide a reliable basis for the diagnosis of postpartum PFD and evaluation of curative effect.
