Sexual Dysfunction And Infertility

Posted by Joanna Karpasea-Jones Mar 3, 2008

A lot of women with infertility problems also have sexual problems, for instance, adhesions which then cause pain during sexual intercourse. This can lead to an avoidance of sex because of the pain associated with it.

If, as in my case, you have vulvodynia or another genital pain disorder, it can be difficult to have sex at all, and obviously without sex there is no baby.

According to the Medscope General Medicine journal, a number of women in the study had painful sex problems, which were then cured by the Wurn Technique.

'In the course of treating female infertility with a manual physical therapy technique,several of our patients volunteered the fact that they were having "the best sex, the best orgasms ever."

And:

'Relatively recent investigations have found the prevalence of female sexual dysfunction (approximately 40%) to surpass that of males (approximately 30%). Despite the higher prevalence, there have been few investigatory studies of female sexual problems and fewer available treatments than for comparable male conditions.'

Good sex is important when trying for a baby. The female orgasm helps to move sperm along, increasing the chance of conception. The hormone, oxytocin, is released during orgasm and this regulates our happiness and stress levels. Stress has been directly linked to infertility, so if you're having painful sex and you're not able to orgasm, maybe you should try the Wurn Technique.
