Reflexology and Fertility
Whether you are having problems conceiving or not Reflexology can help with your fertility.
If you are having no problems with conception Reflexology can help to prepare your body for pregnancy, making sure it is functioning to its best for both you and your baby. It can also help during pregnancy (please see my Reflexology and Pregnancy section) and also during and after labour (please see both the Reflexology and Pregnancy and also Reflexology and Labour sections).
Reflexology is well known for helping women with fertility problems. There are various reasons why women may find it difficult to conceive:
- Stress – pressure and worry from wanting to conceive, or general stressors from work and home life
- Hormone imbalances
- Problems with the menstrual cycle – irregular periods or heavy bleeding
- Blocked/damaged fallopian tubes – this can be caused by scarring after an infection, ectopic pregnancies or endemetriosis
- Poly-cystic Ovaries – small cysts on the ovaries due to hormone imbalances
- Cervical problems – hormone imbalances may cause a thick mucus which stops sperm from travelling along the reproductive tract.
Reflexology can help to re-balance the hormone levels that can cause many of the problems listed above, as well as helping you to relax and de-stress. Often relaxation on its own can help conception. However it should be noted that whatever your symptoms it is important that both partners are tested in order for a full diagnosis of the cause of infertility.
