Ivanovski shows that by studying the vascular impedance can calculate the optimal uterine receptivity in IVF. A reduced vascular resistance and increased blood flow rate improves the chance of pregnancy. Dr. Luis T. Mercé says: "After evaluating 40 cycles of IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) have found that the pregnancy rates increases with increasing endometrial volume. It has also advocated that the endometrial blood flow better reflects uterine receptivity, since the endometrium is where will take place the embryo implantation. Merce also claims to have found that the pregnancy rate increases with increasing endometrial volume and no pregnancies were achieved with endometrial volume less than 3 ml. These statements motivate us to perform a research project to monitor changes that occur in the uterine endometrial vascularization and subendomertial vascularization after applying a manual physiotherapic technique in menopausal women. Various authors report that by osteopathic techniques applied on visceral structures, vascular flow rate of the treated bodies increased. In the literature there are not articles on the subject at hand, but there are references to the manual techniques in the treatment of women with infertility where they state that the manual action for lymphatic congestion in the pelvic region facilitates pregnancy in women infertile. The practice of visceral osteopathy offers the possibility of accessing the treatment of uterine functional disorders, as well as structures such as uterine ligaments. They influence the fluidic efficiency of uterine arteriovenous system. According to Salamon E., W. Zhu and Stefano GB., provides enough tools to improve the movement of fluids and uterine vascularization.
