A reminder about endometriosis

Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, which is affected by hormonal changes during each subsequent menstrual cycle. During menstruation, under the effect of uterine contractions, endometrial cells are regurgitated into the fallopian tubes and end up in the abdomino-pelvic cavity.

Instead of being eliminated by the immune system, these endometrial cells implant themselves and then, under the effect of subsequent hormonal stimulation, proliferate in neighbouring tissues and organs (peritoneum, ovary, fallopian tube, intestine, bladder, ureter, diaphragm, etc.). The organs are then infiltrated with endometrial tissue. There are therefore several forms of endometriosis: superficial (or peritoneal) endometriosis, ovarian endometriosis, deep pelvic endometriosis and extra-pelvic endometriosis.

Endometriosis is therefore responsible for disabling pelvic pain, dysmenorrhoea, dyspareunia, dysuria and even infertility, as well as physical deconditioning. These symptoms have a major impact on the quality of life of sufferers, with significant repercussions on their personal and conjugal lives, as well as their professional and social lives, constituting a real invisible handicap.[1] [2]

Endometriosis in a few figures

1 IN 10 WOMEN

Endometriosis affects around 1 in 10 women worldwide, making it a common but often under-diagnosed condition.[1]

7 TO 10 YEARS

On average, diagnosis is delayed for 7 to 10 years after the first symptoms appear, leading to prolonged suffering and potential complications.[1]

30% TO 40%​

Up to 30-40% of women with endometriosis may experience fertility problems.[1]

Tecartherapy

IN BRIEF

Non-invasive and painless, the Tecar high-frequency current provides membrane depolarisation over a frequency range of 300 kHz to 1 MHz, resulting in an increase in intra- and extra-cellular exchanges[3]. Winback tecartherapy enables the therapist to work on pain stimuli, their transmission and the fascias, thereby reducing pain and improving movement.

3 KEY THERAPEUTIC EFFECTS COMBINED

Thanks to saturation of nociceptors and inhibition of transmission

Stimulates cellular metabolism[4]

Improves tissue trophicity and viscoelasticity, promotes vascularisation

INDICATIONS

Extremely versatile, tecartherapy is indicated in many areas of rehabilitation, particularly in the post-partum period, but also in the case of acute and chronic pathologies that can occur at different times in a woman’s life.

  • Healing disorders (caesarean section, episiotomy, adhesions, bridles, etc.)
  • Pelvic-perineal pain (dyspareunia, vaginismus, contractures, etc.)
  • Trophic disorders (oedema, haematomas, vaginal atrophy, etc.)
  • Musculoskeletal disorders (low back pain, back pain, pudendalgia, etc.)

The effect of tecar on endometriosis

The pelvic pain of endometriosis is linked to the loss of mobility caused by adhesions and a reduction in the sliding planes of the various tissues in the pelvic cavity and sometimes extra-pelvic. As this area is highly innervated (nociceptors, interoceptors), this nociceptive pain becomes chronic through central sensitisation. [5]

Tecartherapy will then :

  • reduce the transmission of the pain message
  • modify the pressure on the nociceptors and interceptors
  • improve the gliding planes and trophicity of the tissues, as well as pelvic congestion.

Clinical cases

STUDY CASE: TREATMENT OF A PATIENT WITH ENDOMETRIOSIS

PATIENT TESTIMONIAL:


"This revolutionary approach has been a real revelation for me, helping to ease the pain associated with endometriosis and overactive bladder.

Thanks to Tecar Therapy, I've been able to find some welcome rest. This non-invasive technique uses a high-frequency current to stimulate tissue regeneration, soothe inflammation and alleviate the pain associated with endometriosis. As for overactive bladder, it has been better controlled thanks to this innovative therapy.

Tecar has a positive effect on tissues and muscles, which has improved my quality of life by reducing the symptoms associated with this condition. I am deeply grateful for this discovery, as it has brought a glimmer of hope into my life."

A WORD FROM HER PHYSIOTHERAPIST:


"The first effect of the tecartherapy treatment on my endometriosis patient was a definite reduction in pain. This has enabled her to acquire a new pain-free lifestyle, enabling her to resume sport, in particular yoga. Working on the overactive bladder using Tecar combined with Hi-EMS put a smile back on her face, saving her constant trips to the toilet. Today, my patient sees the light at the end of the tunnel with the help of Tecar therapy and prefers to reduce her medication such as cortisone.

2. CASE STUDY OF A PATIENT WITH ADENOMYOSIS

PATIENT TESTIMONIAL:


"I was diagnosed with adenomyosis 5 months ago following intense, debilitating, continuous lower abdominal pain that proved resistant to all therapeutic options suggested to me. And while discussing my condition with my physiotherapist, who has been regularly managing my lupus, he suggested trying tecar therapy to alleviate my symptoms. I felt the results after the very first session! The constant pain has significantly decreased, the swelling in my abdomen has almost completely disappeared, and I regained sleep after 5 months of almost constant insomnia caused by the pain. Today, after 5 sessions in 3 weeks, my adenomyosis is almost silent! I can finally resume an almost normal life!"

A WORD FROM HER PHYSIOTHERAPIST:


"The results were very rapid for this patient. Regarding the pain, it has significantly decreased, if not disappeared. Bloating and inflammation have resolved, and her quality of life has been restored both personally and professionally."
