To restore reproductive health, sometimes it is enough to understand the hidden causes of infertility. They are like thin links in a chain that diagnostics may not detect the first time.

Anna Chernousova, an osteopath-neurologist at the Osteon clinic, talks about how you can influence the reproductive organs from an unexpected side.

What takes our energy away

A part of the brain called the hypothalamus is responsible for the production of hormones in the ovaries and regular menstruation. He is very sensitive to disturbances in sleep and wakefulness. It is also affected by errors in nutrition, stress, leading to immunodeficiency.

If you add any infections and poisoning here, they worsen the situation to inflammation and adhesions.

As a result, the body has less energy to move and live a full life

This threatens with stagnation of blood, especially in the lower body, which is only exacerbated by the presence of injuries or operations in the past. As a result, blood and lymph in the female reproductive organs circulate worse and worse.

To cure infertility, you need to pay close attention to the pelvic organs, check for stagnation and inflammation.

For example, in the presence of chronic sexually transmitted infections (such as herpes, ureaplasmosis, mycoplasmosis, chlamydia, etc.), treatment with pharmaceuticals may be unsuccessful if the flow of blood and lymph in the small pelvis is not adjusted.

In patients with urogenital problems (both men and women), lumbosacral restrictions are almost always found, which are either mechanical or reflex in nature.

For example, reflex knee pain can be triggered by irritation of the femoral genital nerves due to limited mobility of organs inside the pelvis. Or limitation of mobility in the shoulder is often also a consequence of the adhesive process in the small pelvis, being an extreme link in the chain of biomechanical disorders.

Stress and Its Devious Friends

By nature, the body is capable of self-regulation and self-healing. You just need to understand that any dysfunction, which can then develop into a disease, is the result of excessive demands on the body.

Insufficient sleep cannot provide adequate rest for the nervous system, and you should not wait for its adequate functioning.

And further along the chain: the nervous system regulates all the functions of the body; improper / irregular nutrition affects the function of the gastrointestinal tract, and the consequence of this is catastrophic - the balance of microflora, enzymes is disturbed, allergies develop, micronutrient deficiency, vitamin deficiency, all this leads to a decrease in immunity.

Physical inactivity in sedentary work or, conversely, too intense, inadequate physical activity, including in the gym, does not contribute to maintaining health. Stress plays a special role in the impact on the body. Whether acute or accumulating gradually, without having an emotional outlet, they undermine our health at all levels, destabilizing the entire system.

Stress can be both emotional and physical - due to trauma, surgery, sports injury, traffic accident, etc. And even if everything has been experienced, emotional trauma remains - the tissues remember, and the brain remembers the pain, although it tries to displace it.

Osteopathic treatment, among other things, involves bodily-emotional release - the moment the doctor touches the patient with his hands, suppressed emotions come out. The conscious recovery of episodes from the past associated with “isolated” tissue memories most often occurs as a sudden insight either during a session or within one or two days, this is often accompanied by the expression of emotions associated with the trauma. When the patient becomes aware of these feelings and re-experiences them, the blocking effect of trauma on microcirculation is eliminated and recovery occurs.
