Initial success rates with this non-surgical therapy are very promising. Infertility is a common problem in the United States . Forty percent of infertility is attributed to the female and an equal percentage is attributed to the male. Twenty percent is attributed to both, or of unknown causes. Approximately 5,000,000 U.S. women are presently diagnosed with infertility.
Adhesions form as a response to inflammation , infection, surgery or trauma.
When they form on or near the delicate female reproductive organs, they may block fallopian tubes or adhere to the ovaries. They may bind like a glue to the finger-like fimbriae, preventing them from grasping the egg during ovulation. Adhesions may cling to the uterine surface, making it less receptive to the implantation of a fertilized egg. When adhesions form at the bladder, stomach, intestines or digestive tract, we may develop abdominal pain or dysfunctions such as incontinence or constipation. When they form in or around the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes or fimbriae, pain or infertility may result.
