A natural female infertility treatment
Improving fertility without surgery or drugsFemale infertility treatment
One non-surgical infertility treatment, the Wurn Technique®, addresses the adhesions that cause poor reproductive function and nearly half of all female infertility. This newly researched infertility treatment uses pelvic physical therapy to decrease adhesions and increase the function of reproductive organs without surgery or drugs. Initial findings indicate that the results of this therapy may last for years (rather than a single cycle).
A patient is treated for female infertility and adhesions.Surgical infertility treatments
Many infertility treatments attempt to surgically avoid the areas which cause female infertility. Medical and surgical techniques such as IVF, GIFT and other assisted reproductive techniques often attempt to bypass poor reproductive function between the ovaries and the uterus. Some of these techniques offer an opportunity for success for a single menstrual cycle, while others may last longer.
Success rates
Our success rates have been good, and appear to be increasing. Our first pilot studies, conducted in the mid-1990s, indicated a 50% full term natural pregnancy rate for women who had been diagnosed infertile by their physicians. Many of these women were complex cases, with significant problems and years of infertility behind them before we treated them. These initial successes alerted us and our referring physicians to the fact that our therapy was assisting infertile women to conceive naturally.
Following those initial successes, a study published in the peer reviewed journal, Medscape General Medicine (6/2004), showed a 71% natural pregnancy rate for patients diagnosed with female infertility, who received our non-surgical infertility treatment. Study participants averaged five years of infertility before receiving the new therapy. See our published medical studies for details about the new infertility treatment.
Complex medical histories
Study participants who became pregnant naturally and gave birth after receiving the therapy reported some remarkable histories before treatment, including totally blocked fallopian tubes, severe endometriosis, scars, adhesions, frequent miscarriage, multiple surgeries and many years of unexplained infertility.
Remarkably, the above conditions can result from events as simple as a fall, yeast or bladder infection. Abdominal or pelvic surgeries are frequent causes of adhesions. More complex conditions such as endometriosis or pelvic inflammatory disease, postinfectious tubal damage, a ruptured appendix, ruptured ovarian cysts, bowel or bladder disease, or foreign body reaction can cause adhesions formation.
Endometriosis (left) and adhesions (right) can form outside the uterusPublished data suggests that 67% to 93% of patients develop adhesions following abdominal surgery and 55% to 100% of patients develop adhesions following gynecologic surgery. When adhesions form at the bladder, stomach, intestines or digestive tract, abdominal pain or dysfunction such as incontinence or constipation may develop. Female infertility (sometimes accompanied by pain) is often the result of adhesions in or around the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes or fimbriae.
When adhesions form at the delicate female reproductive organs they can block fallopian tubes or adhere to the uterus or ovaries. They act like a strong glue. They can attach to the finger-like fimbriae of the fallopian tubes, preventing them from grasping the egg during ovulation. The fallopian tube must have complete freedom of movement to ensure that the properly prepared egg enters the path to the uterus, rather than becoming wasted in the abdominal cavity. Adhesions may cling to the uterine surface, making it less receptive to the implantation of a fertilized egg. They may even form between muscle cells within the cervix or uterus, causing difficulties with sperm transport or implantation.
Our natural, non-surgical infertility treatment is designed to decrease the adhesions and improve organ function for women with pain, infertility, and dysfunction.
The therapy has helped foster well over a hundred and fifty births that we know of to date.
