A fertility massage is a type of treatment that has been used for hundreds of years to stimulate the production of eggs and increase the possibility of conceiving a baby. The massage may be performed in women, and the massage will stimulate the uterus or the ovaries.

Benefits of Ovary Massage

An ovary massage can increase your chances of becoming pregnant and may be combined with several other fertility treatments without having any side effects. The massage of the ovaries may help relieve ovulation pain, twisted fallopian tubes or irregular ovulation. The massage will increase the blood flow in the area of the ovaries, bringing blood that is filled with oxygen that will be beneficial for the egg production.

The massage of the reproductive system may also reduce constipation, which can affect fertility, as the feces may press on the reproductive organs. The massage will also have a relaxing effect and relieve stress, which can also affect your fertility.

Relaxation



The first step in the ovary massage is to relax. Take a deep breath and try to clear your head. Don’t think about your day and daily chores; think about a vacation or a baby picture. If you are stressed and tense, you may use aromatherapy to relax or other relaxation methods.

Find the Ovaries

The ovaries will be located approximately 4 inches below your navel. Measure these 4 inches below the navel, and go 3 inches in each side to find the exact location of each ovary.

Perform the Massage

The massage should be performed with your hands, using a massage oil (i.e. almond oil). Warm up the oil by rubbing it in your hands, so that your hands will also be warm when touching the skin.

Lie down on a mattress or a yoga mat and locate your ovaries. Start massaging the area with gentle, circular moves that go clockwise. Massage each ovary in part for up to 10 minutes. Increase the pressure as you get used to the massage and you may pinch the skin gently. If you feel pain, you should stop. The massage should be comfortable at all times.

If you feel pain, you may be suffering from polycystic ovary syndrome, so you need to get help from a fertility specialist. Don’t forget to use massage oil and apply generously, as otherwise, your skin can become irritated due to the continuous rubbing.

Contraindications of Ovary Massage

The ovary massage shouldn’t be performed in the following cases:

When you are menstruating

If you are pregnant or suspect you may be pregnant

If you feel any pain when performing the massage

The ovary massage should stimulate fertility and help you get pregnant faster, however, make sure you consult with a fertility doctor and see if there are other things (i.e. diet) that you can change or new treatments that may help you achieve your goals faster.
