Sexual pain and Infertility

Sometimes women experience persistent or recurring pain before, during, or after sexual intercourse. Most of these times, women do not even consider getting a proper treatment for this condition, until the pain becomes unbearable 

The pain can be due to a variety of different reasons such as injury to the pelvic floor muscles during childbirth, endometriosis, PCOS or musculoskeletal dysfunction. Psychological factors such as stress, anxiety or depression may also cause such pain.

Similarly, people suffering from infertility can also benefit from various physiotherapy treatments. Such treatments improve lymphatic drainage and  blood supply to the reproductive organs, enhance tissue elasticity and mobilise the tight ligaments.

Physiotherapy treatments also help with conditions such as fibroids, fallopian tube obstruction, post-pelvic or abdominal surgeries and reproductive organ dysfunction. Physiotherapy treatments taken before an IVF session, can also increase the chances of conceiving. 

Psychological health also impacts sexual health and infertility. To keep stress, anxiety and depression at bay, physiotherapy techniques and treatments such as full body relaxation, acupressure, meditation, yoga, pilates, and reflexology are used.
