I guess that explains why my cycles have always been so regular - I have always slept with only a light curtain for privacy in the bedroom, but one that lets the sunlight through in the mornings - but it also lets the moonlight (or lack thereof) fall directly on my pillow!

There are many therapists (massage and physical therapists) who are specifically trained in fascial/muscle release of the psoas, lower belly, vaginal wall, and indirectly, the uterus. Before attempting more invasive procedures like surgery, I always recommend discussing massage treatments, heat, and perhaps just TLC to this area with your doctor! My thoughts are:

I am 56 and I started going through menopause at 41. I had such horrible, painful periods – hemorrhaging, eye migrains, back pain…on and on. Then one day during a bad period, my husband reached over and started massaging my lower abdomen. His big warm hands and fingers could rub deeper than I could myself. After having two kids, I learned that my period was actually my uterus having a muscle spasm, trying to push the rich unused blood out that it had built up getting ready to hold a precious baby. I never had a bad period after that. I just asked my husband to massage me and the pain disappeared until the next month. What are your thoughts on this? Sincerely, Debi I appreciate your article.
