A natural female infertility treatment

Improving fertility without surgery or drugs

A new non-surgical female infertility treatment
has shown success in several medical journals.

A “hands-on” female 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. Recently, this new infertility treatment has also shown success treating women diagnosed with premature ovarian failure, ‘old eggs’ or high FSH hormone levels.

This newly researched female infertility treatment uses pelvic physical therapy to decrease adhesions and increase the function of reproductive organs and glands, without surgery or drugs. Clinical findings indicate that the results of this therapy appear to last for years in many women (rather than a single cycle).

How it differs from surgical infertility treatments

Many infertility treatments attempt to surgically avoid the areas that 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

Conception unites the body's smallest cell
(a sperm) with the largest (an egg)

Our success rates have been good, and appear to be increasing. Our first pilot studies, conducted in the mid-1990s, indicated a surprisingly high 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 women to conceive naturally, despite earlier diagnoses of female infertility.

Following those initial successes, a study published about our work in the peer reviewed journal, Medscape General Medicine (6/2004),¹

showed a 71% natural pregnancy rate for patients diagnosed with female infertility, after they received our non-surgical infertility treatment. Study participants averaged five years of infertility before receiving the new therapy. To date, we have published citations in several respected peer-reviewed medical journals, including Fertility and Sterility and Contemporary Ob-Gyn. 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.

are two of the conditions addressed by
the new female infertility treatment

Published data suggests that 67% to 93% of patients develop adhesions following abdominal surgery and 55% to 100% of patients develop adhesions following gynecologic surgery.² 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.

Over two hundred and thirty babies have been born or are expected by women previously diagnosed infertile after receiving our infertility treatment.
