Massage for Female Reproductive Diseases

Massage for diseases of the female reproductive system is one of the most effective methods of treatment and prevention. It helps improve blood circulation in the pelvic area, increase the tone of the uterus, its contractility, reduce congestion in both the circulatory and lymphatic systems of the pelvis, resolve adhesions, etc. However, for massage to be effective and safe, a number of conditions must be met.

The first and most important condition is that massage should only be performed by a specialist who has undergone training and practice in a hospital or clinic. Only an experienced massage therapist can correctly determine the position of the uterus, its ability to move in different directions, the condition of the uterosacral ligaments and painful areas.

The second condition is compliance with contraindications for massage. These include: menstruation, acute and subacute inflammation of the internal and external genital organs, the presence of various neoplasms of the uterus and its appendages, tuberculosis of the peritoneum and genital organs, the presence of gonococci in the vaginal discharge, trichomonas colpitis and urethritis, cervical erosion, the presence of severe pain during and after massage, pregnancy, the period after childbirth or abortion for 2 months, during breastfeeding, congenital malposition of the uterus, diseases of the genital area in combination with intestinal diseases, purulent processes in the pelvic organs, the patient has a high fever, third degree purity of vaginal secretion, acceleration of ROE (above 20 mm per hour).

The third condition is the correct position of the patient. The massage should be performed on a gynecological chair or on a massage table. The patient must be placed so that the buttocks extend slightly beyond the edge of the table, the legs are slightly pulled towards the stomach, and the feet are placed on the footrests of the table or chair. A cushion should be placed under the patient's head.

The fourth condition is the correct implementation of massage techniques. Massage techniques should be performed gently and carefully, without causing pain to the person being massaged. If painful sensations appear, it is necessary to reduce the intensity of movements or stop the massage. The massage should be performed with both hands. With the index and middle fingers of one hand you need to perform techniques in the vaginal and pelvic cavity, with the fingers of the other hand in the abdomen and lumbar region. Massage techniques may include light stroking movements, circular movements, vibration, etc. Each technique should be performed several times, observing the rhythm and speed of execution.

The fifth condition is compliance with hygiene requirements. The massage therapist must work in a clean and disinfected room, use sterile gloves and a mask. After each massage, it is necessary to treat the instruments and the surface on which the massage was performed with disinfectants.

In general, massage is an effective method of treating and preventing diseases of the female reproductive system. However, to achieve maximum effect and avoid undesirable consequences, it is necessary to comply with a number of conditions, including massage performed only by a specialist, compliance with contraindications, correct position of the patient, correct execution of massage techniques and compliance with hygienic requirements.
