Q: Ovulatory pain and dysmenorrhea after using UNDAs?

August 31, 2007

Hi everyone,

I have a patient whom I've been treating for infertility for quite

some time now. She had a salivary hormone test doee early on which

showered high testosterone and DHEA, low progesterone. All ofher

labs are normal. We started off with BTGs and general drainage.

For the first month she felt great, then I continued with general

drainage bt with different numbers (1, 20, 258 then 2, 20, 243) then

she started to experience stitching pain in the ovarian area during

ovulation. After that set, we moved onto 10, 21, 48 in which she

experienced a huge aggravation consisting of severe headaches,

nausea, menstrual cramping, heavy period and fatigue.

We took her off those UNDAs, and her being a very sensitive patient,

we decided to stop drainage for a bit and focus on her adrenals,

stress levels and nervous system. We realized that she may not

be 'the' problem to the infertility because her husband suffers from

low libido and very likely low sperm count although unconfirmed.

When our clinic tried treating the husband using naturopathic

medicine and lymphatic drainage, he experienced an increased libido

and energy (I mainly used vitamins eg. fish oils, vit b12,

carnitine, vitACES, Zinc and drainage), but he was slowly worsening

to the point where he did not want any sex for up to 2-3 weeks of

time. We realized he was feeling a lot of pressure possibly from

the wife and this stress counteracted a lot of the things we were

doing. There's also some emotional trauma in his past in which we

haven't gotten to yet.

So my main question is (other than seeing if anyone has any tips for

this couple as it has been quite frustrating treating them despite

trying many things) is whether or not it is possible the undas could

have caused this stitching ovulatory pain, headaches and

dysmennorhea. I spoke to my patient recently and she has stopped

undas for about 4 months now, and she is still experiencing these

symptoms. She is a very nervous and anxious patient, so I think she

is afraid of using Undas again because she feels she is extremely

sensitive to them. Has this ever happened to anyone before?
