Gynecological massage is not an inventionnew. It was first proposed by Ture Brand, a biologist who had nothing to do with medicine. In 1861, this massage was finally put into practice and proved to be an effective method of treating some gynecological diseases. Uterine massage tones this organ, increases its contractility and reduces congestion. Its effect is similar to the effect of any massage procedures. Twenty years ago, gynecological massage was actively prescribed, and the general public knew about it. There were even ambiguous jokes about this procedure. Now, those who know the technique of such a massage can be counted on the fingers of one hand, because the procedure is prescribed very rarely.
Purpose of the procedure
Gynecological massage helps to solve many problems associated with diseases of the female reproductive organs. After massage:
- accelerates blood flow and lymphatic conductivity in organs located in the small pelvis;
- increases the tone of the uterus, and hence its contractility;
- spikes are sprained, the mobility of the connective tissue increases;
- musculature of the pelvic organs is strengthened.
In the case when the uterus is under the influence of childbirth orweakening of the muscle ligaments has deviated from the correct position, gynecological massage can return it to its place. Of course, this procedure is not a panacea for curing gynecological diseases. It has its contraindications. Also, you should not rely on it when getting rid of infertility.

Algorithm and technique of impact on pelvic organs
During the uterine massage, the woman is on a gynecological chair in a traditional position or on a massage table in a knee-elbow position.

- It is advisable to empty your bowels three hours before coming to the massage room, and your bladder just before the procedure.
It is imperative to perform hygienic proceduresprocedures - washing of the external genitalia. Before starting to massage the uterus, the doctor will additionally treat the genitals and adjacent organs with an antiseptic solution. The massage is performed with both hands simultaneously. The fingers of one hand are inserted into the vagina, the other hand produces external effects through the peritoneum. After the procedure, the woman needs to lie on her stomach or back for about 15 minutes, without getting off the massage device, absolutely relaxed. The woman should not experience any painful sensations. The clitoris and urethra are not affected during medical manipulations.
Number of procedures required
Depending on the severity of the disease,The doctor prescribes the number of procedures and their frequency individually. However, there are general recommendations on the basis of which it is calculated how many times a woman needs to visit a massage room and how much time they will take. The first time, the uterus is massaged for no more than 10-15 minutes. During the trial massage, the individual characteristics of the body are determined, the doctor finds out what force of impact needs to be applied. At this time, you need to talk to the doctor and share your feelings. On average, 10 to 20 procedures are prescribed during the intermenstrual period, in some cases - amenorrhea or scanty periods, their number can be increased to 60. So, if the doctor insists on conducting sessions for 3-4 months, you should not suspect him of sexual harassment - the number of procedures is prescribed depending on the effectiveness of the impact and the state of health. Uterine massage helps to get rid of many gynecological problems without the use of drugs, which in many cases have an adverse effect on many body systems. However, it is not worth relying on it as a cure for infertility. In most cases, infertility is not associated with stagnation in the reproductive organs, but with hormonal problems.
