Fertility massage is a non invasive type of treatment that could be beneficial for women who are trying to conceive. The fertility massage may be performed as a self massage or by a licensed massage therapist. However, the benefits of self massage for fertility are believed to exceed the benefits of the massage performed by a therapist.
Increases Blood Circulation
The fertility massage is performed with gentle circular moves or moves that go up and down or from left to right, right to left. These movements are meant to stimulate the circulation of the blood in the reproductive organ areas: the uterus, ovaries or the fallopian tubes.
The increased blood flow will mean an increased amount of oxygenated blood in the area, and this can stimulate the production of eggs.
Boosts Egg Health
The massage and the fact that the blood flow is increased in the area will also increase the chances that the eggs produced in the ovaries are healthy. This will increase the chances of conception and will ensure the fetus will be healthy and the baby will be less likely to have birth defects.
Maintains Hormonal Balance
The fertility massage can maintain the hormonal balance by regulating the egg production. If the ovaries are in sync with the pituitary glands and the hypothalamus, the production of sexual hormones will be normal, and this is necessary for a healthy conception.
Removes Useless Tissues
After menstruation or pelvic injury, there may be remaining tissues that the body fails to eliminate and these can block the fallopian tubes or the uterus. The fertility massage will help eliminate these useless tissues.
Helps Health Issues
The fertility massage has been linked to improvement in reproductive system conditions such as:
- Endometriosis, which is a condition that involves the growth of multiple endometrial like cells in the area near the uterus or on the ovaries. The condition affects fertility.
- Pelvic adhesions, which can be a consequence of reproductive system surgeries or injuries. The massage will stimulate the blood flow and speed up the recovery of the scars and break the adhesions.
- Polycystic ovary syndrome, which will also affect fertility and cause irregular menstrual cycles or amenorrhea. The movements performed during the self fertility massage will break down the cysts.
- Reduces pain and cramps during the menstrual cycle
- Regulates menstrual cycle and can solve problems such as longer or shorter menstrual cycles
- Reduces clotting during menstrual cycles
- Reduces bloating and water retention in the reproductive system area
Removes Stress
The fertility massage can remove stress. Women tend to have a lot of stress in the pelvic area due to incorrect posture. The massage will eliminate this stress.
Also, the massage will deal with stress, anxiety and emotional problems. The self massage will help the patient be calmer. Stress can often contribute to the failure to conceive.
