Physical Therapy for Fertility: Supporting Your Journey to Parenthood at Georgia Pelvic Health and Wellness

Are you struggling with fertility challenges? You’re not alone. At Georgia Pelvic Health and Wellness in Rome, GA, we understand that the path to parenthood can be complex and emotionally challenging. Our specialized physical therapy treatments offer hope and evidence-based support for women facing fertility challenges, particularly those trying to conceive in their mid-30s and beyond.

Understanding Fertility and Physical Therapy’s Role

Infertility affects approximately 12% of women ages 15-44 in the United States, with rates increasing among women in their mid-30s and 40s. While many people don’t immediately think of physical therapy when considering fertility treatments, research shows that specialized pelvic health physical therapy can play a crucial role in supporting reproductive health and fertility outcomes.

At Georgia Pelvic Health and Wellness, we recognize that infertility isn’t just a medical condition – it’s a complex journey that affects both your physical and emotional well-being. Defined medically as the inability to conceive after 12 months of regular, unprotected intercourse (or six months for women over 35), infertility can result from various factors, including:

• Hormonal imbalances
• Structural issues in the reproductive system
• Underlying conditions like PCOS or endometriosis
• Lifestyle factors
• Age-related fertility changes

Key Signs and Symptoms

Understanding the signs of fertility challenges is crucial for early intervention. Common symptoms that may indicate fertility issues include:

Irregular or Absent Menstrual Cycles

Irregular periods or missing cycles can signal ovulation problems, which often contribute to fertility challenges. Our physical therapy approaches can help address underlying factors affecting menstrual regularity.

Pelvic Pain and Discomfort

Experiencing pain during intercourse or severe menstrual cramps may indicate conditions like endometriosis or pelvic inflammatory disease. These conditions can affect fertility but often respond well to specialized physical therapy interventions.

Hormonal Imbalance Indicators

Watch for signs such as:

• Unexplained weight changes
