Most often, pelvic pain is caused by spasms, which is indirectly confirmed by the relief of pain with the help of antispasmodics.
A spasm is a defensive reaction that manifests itself in the form of an instant muscle contraction. In the hip region, spasms occur in women as a result of stress, sexual contact, pregnancy and childbirth.
Spasm displaces the internal organs of the pelvis, which causes a violation of their functioning. Pain syndrome occurs due to the tension caused by the displacement, squeezing and twisting of the circulatory and lymphatic systems.
Normally, after a spasm, the muscles should gradually relax, but this does not always happen. Also, with spasm due to impaired blood and lymph circulation, the supply of the spasmed area with oxygen and nutrients worsens. This leads to dysfunction of local immunity and, as a result, to inflammatory processes.
If the constant tension is not removed, then in a few months, most likely, fibrosis will begin – a painful thickening of the tissues. This is a reversible process if the spasm is removed in time and normal blood supply is restored, which a competent osteopath can do in a few sessions.
After the formation of a fibrous seal in about a year, the process becomes irreversible. The result of it is the calcification of the spasmodic muscle, which can lead to malignant neoplasms.
The uterus is attached to the skeleton by six ligaments. Spasm of at least one of them causes serious health problems for women.
For example, spasm of the sacro-uterine ligament binds the cervix, causing pain during sexual contact.
With spasm of the piriformis muscle, the patient will be disturbed by dull pains of a aching nature in the sacrum and lumbar spine. In the future, it can provoke problems during pregnancy, childbirth, cause hemorrhoids, arthrosis of the pelvic joints.
During pregnancy and childbirth, all six ligaments can be injured, which can lead to serious problems in the future. During abortion, the ligaments are injured in 99% of cases, which in the future can lead to miscarriage, tumors and bleeding.
Osteopathy can help a woman solve many health problems, prolonging life and improving its quality.
