With an aim to find Physiotherapeutic solutions for menstrual ailments, I made a hypothesis, ‘Pelvic floor exercises to control the extent of endometrial necrosis’ to be conducted as a research. The title of this research was finally converted as ‘To explore the cryptic benefits of pelvic floor exercises in relation to menstruation’. The other expected advantage was drawing attention of the neuro-vascular structures to render sufficient blood and hormonal supply to orchestrate healthy menstrual events. The research divulged 16 different types of menstrual pain [based on onset, duration, alleviating factors] and any one of this type will belong to a woman. Different types of menstrual problems were documented and they were [i] Lower abdominal pain [ii] Low back pain [iii] Radiating pain to the back of thighs and calf [iv] Joint pain [v] Mastalgia [vi] Pre-menstral tension [vii] Head ache [viii] Anorexia [ix] Gastro-intestinal disturbances (either constipation or diarrhea) [x] Nausea [xi] Irregular menstrual cycles [xi] Burning sensation in the vaginal canal [xii] None of the above.
The following were the cryptic benefits of pelvic floor exercises [i] Reduction in the menstrual pain (includes lower abdominal pain, back pain, leg and calf pain) [ii] Decrease in the extent or days of menstrual bleeding [iii] Regulation of menstrual cycles [iv] Disappearance of pre-menstrual tension [v] Reduced gastro-intestinal disturbances during menstruation [vi] Improvement in confidence to confront menstrual event [vii] Ability to prevent leakage of menstrual contents during the activities that raises intra-abdominal pressure like coughing, sneezing, laughing etc.,
The entire research was done within the limits of physiotherapy. When the high statistical significance of this research was reported to FOGSI journal, their experts pointed out the lack of strength of the sample [only 31 subjects were used to provide reports after practicing pelvic floor exercises although countless number of subjects just frankly reported the actual nature of their menstrual pain with which I had concluded 16 different types of menstrual pain] and could not publish my research report. Amidst favorable doctoring actions of pelvic floor exercises, 3 out 31 participants of this research also had reported either no benefits or adverse reactions like excessive bleeding and unabated pain. I am very confident that every female has to become customary to pelvic floor exercises from puberty till menarche [a] to get rid of catamenial disorders [b] to enhance the labor kinetics [c] to overcome incontinence.
