Don't head for IVF yet—a special type of physiotherapy with alternate healing approaches can boost fertility, even if you have endometriosis or PCOS or PCOD or ……..
Now days its a common problem with females, every third female coming to us with one or the other abdominal pain issues along with diagnosis of PCOS / ENDOMETROSIS / HORMONE IMBALANCE ,etc… medically they all are true but can be pseudo also because of trigger point.
So here physiotherapist can help by proper assessment and treatment protocol designed individually.
The research, published in the journal Alternative Therapies, looked at over 1,300 women who suffer from the three primary causes of infertility: pain during sex, hormonal imbalances, and adhesions. They found that after they went through physical therapy, the women experienced a 40 to 60 percent success rate in getting pregnant (depending on the underlying cause of their infertility). The therapy specifically benefited women with blocked fallopian tubes (60 percent became pregnant), polycystic ovarian syndrome (53 percent), high levels of follicle stimulating hormone, an indicator of ovarian failure, (40 percent), and endometriosis (43 percent). This specialized physical therapy has even helped patients undergoing IVF raise their success rates to 56 percent and even 83 percent in some cases, as shown in a separate study.
Researchers have found that surgery and IVF aren't the only ways to treat blocked fallopian tubes. In fact, the 10-year study showed that physiotherapy was able to totally open blocked fallopian tubes, something that previously was only thought possible with surgery. The physiotherapy is called the Clear Passage Approach, and according to the study, it achieved pregnancy rates double those of surgery.

The Trouble with Trigger Points
A muscle is made up of numerous fibers. A trigger point is a small, taut patch of involuntarily contracted muscle fibers within a muscle or muscle fascia. The tightly contracted fibers that form a trigger point effect blood supply to the nearby tissue, which in turn makes the area hyperirritable when compressed.
In addition to the local pain they cause, trigger points often refer pain elsewhere. On top of that, they can pull on tendons and ligaments associated with the muscle they are in, and can even cause pain deep within a joint where there are no muscles.
For example, in women, trigger points in the rectus abdominus muscle of the core muscles can refer pain/irritability to unusual abdominal cramp.. So say kavita has an active trigger point in her resctus abdominus. As a result, kavita begins to unusual abdominal cramp. So she visits her doctor believing she has some reproductive problems and doctor convienced her saying her saying she has PCOS hence the pain is more. After releasing her trigger point and proper exercises she conceived and no more unusual abdominal cramp
