Gynecological massage of the female body

Gynecological massage has a healing effect on the affected female body. This treatment method was developed in 1861. He was “discovered” to the world by Toure Brandt, who, by the way, was not an obstetrician-gynecologist. The author had to spend seven whole years to ensure that the gynecological massage procedure found its application in clinical practice.

Today, uterine massage is widely used in gynecology. It should only be performed by a gynecologist who will identify certain indications. It is often indicated for weakness and insufficient contractility of the muscles of the uterus, with incorrect position of the uterus, with the formation of adhesions and scar formations, also with chronic inflammation of the tubes, congestion in the pelvis.

The main goal of this procedure is to improve blood circulation in the pelvic organs, eliminate adhesions and increase the tone of the uterus.

In some cases, such a massage is used to normalize the position of the uterus, as well as to generally improve the condition of the female genital organs. As a result of the massage, inflammatory processes disappear and tissue metabolism improves.

Massage technique

As a rule, the massage procedure is carried out on a gynecological chair and, even better, on a massage table, which is equipped with a special roller, headrest and footrests to support the feet. The patient is positioned in a supine position. All movements and techniques are very soft, gentle, neat. Everything should be done very carefully and painlessly. The patient should feel calm, without straining too much. During the massage, the doctor uses both hands, where the fingers of one massage from the side of the vagina, and the fingers of the second hand from the abdominal integument.

During the procedure, the patient must breathe in such a way that the abdominal muscles relax. The massage is performed two hours after eating, the bladder should be emptied before the procedure, and the intestines should be emptied several hours before the session. The genital area is treated by the doctor with a special antiseptic solution.

The duration of the first sessions should not exceed 15 minutes. Subsequent sessions can be increased in time. Depending on the indications and conditions, the total number of sessions ranges from 10 to 30. It can be performed without breaks or with a break of one day. Of course, this is not always the case, since massage is selected individually in each case. To a large extent, the number of sessions depends on the body’s reaction to the massage.

There should be no pain, but a feeling of constriction, stretching and displacement - this is allowed in every massage procedure. It is imperative to take into account that the patient must protect herself from pregnancy and it is not advisable to have sexual intercourse during these days.

After the massage procedure, the woman should lie on her stomach for 10 minutes. For greater effectiveness and better results, it is suggested to lie on your stomach several times a day for 1-2 months. To restore the normal position of the uterus, it is very good to combine massage with gymnastic exercises, which the doctor will recommend.

Gynecological type of massage is performed on the affected organs of the female reproductive system

Chronic inflammation covering the internal genital organs, pain in the uterus, sacrum, ovaries during the intermenstrual period. In this case, the menstrual cycle may be disrupted, congestion may form in the pelvis, which can cause displacement of the uterus. In clinical practice, such diseases occur quite often.

External uterine massage is also used in women who have had an abortion or pathological childbirth. It is prescribed after a month after an abortion and after two or three months after giving birth to non-breastfeeding mothers. This procedure is an excellent method of preserving menstrual function and preventing the formation of stagnant formations.

Menstrual irregularities and painful menstruation are also reasons for gynecological massage. If a woman has problems, this massage will have a therapeutic nature, which is a little painful in the first sessions. And if there are no special problems, this massage will be of a preventive nature, which is performed 2 times a year in small courses.

When there is a change in the ligamentous apparatus of the uterus, as a result of which there is prolapse of the uterus, greater mobility, as well as its incorrect location, massage procedures are used. In this group of disorders, massage is a mandatory procedure. In combination, special gymnastic exercises are performed to strengthen the abdominal muscles.

Of course, gynecological massage has great benefits, but, unfortunately, it cannot be considered as a separate method of treating infertility. Often, the diagnosis of infertility is made based on several negative factors. Therefore, massage cannot cope with all the obstacles on the path to pregnancy. Most likely, massage serves as an auxiliary method along with the main methods of treatment.

From all of the above, we can draw the following conclusion that massage movements contribute to changes in the pelvic organs, and the result of this procedure can be pregnancy. It is worth noting that during pregnancy this type of massage is not performed.

1. Fever
2. Menstruation
3. Acute forms of inflammation of the external and internal genital organs
4. Tuberculosis of female genital organs
5. Cervical erosion and cancer
6. Pregnancy and breastfeeding
7. Intestinal diseases
8. The appearance of sharp pain during and after massage

Of course, we cannot say that massage is a universal cure for all diseases. But, still, no one will argue that this procedure has a preventive and therapeutic nature, which is time-tested.
