 How Physiotherapy Helps?

Gynecological physiotherapy focuses on conditions related to the pelvic floor, uterus, bladder, and associated muscles, while Obstetric physiotherapy supports women during and after pregnancy. 

Physiotherapy in Gynecological and Obstetric Patients Using Photobiomodulation

Photobiomodulation involves the application of red or near-infrared light to body tissues. The light penetrates the skin and is absorbed by mitochondria, leading to increased ATP production, reduced oxidative stress, and modulation of inflammatory processes. This makes PBM a promising non-invasive treatment for various musculoskeletal, inflammatory, and pain-related conditions.

Applications in Gynecology and Obstetrics

  1. Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation
    PBM can be integrated into physiotherapy programs for pelvic floor dysfunctions, including stress urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and postpartum pelvic floor muscle weakness. It enhances tissue healing and reduces inflammation, making it easier for patients to engage in active rehabilitation.

  2. Postpartum Recovery
    Following childbirth, especially after cesarean section or perineal trauma, PBM may support wound healing, reduce pain, and decrease swelling. It can be a useful adjunct to traditional physiotherapy in the early postpartum period.

  3. Pain Management
    PBM is effective in reducing chronic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, and pain associated with endometriosis. It may also help in managing discomfort associated with vulvodynia or vaginal atrophy, especially in postmenopausal women.

  4. Scar Healing and Tissue Repair
    After gynecological surgeries such as hysterectomy, laparoscopic procedures, or episiotomy, PBM can accelerate healing and reduce the risk of adhesions and chronic scar pain.

  5. Lymphedema Management
    PBM may assist in reducing limb or genital lymphedema, especially after cancer treatments such as lymph node dissection or radiation therapy.
