Period Pain (Dysmenorrhoea) is a widespread female problem which affects 40-90% of women. Period pain can have a real impact on quality of life, leading to absences from work and school. The Ova Plus Period Pain Reliever offers a completely natural form of relief from period pain and the pain of secondary menstrual pain due to conditions such as endometriosis, fibroids or pelvic inflammatory disease. The unit applies a small electric current through two electrode patches placed on the lower abdomen. This causes muscles in the uterine area to relax, leaving a calming analgesic effect. This small and convenient unit can be worn all day under clothing to provide safe, continuous, drug-free period pain relief whilst maintaining a normal, active lifestyle. The Ova is small enough to keep in your handbag (a small zip pouch is provided) and you can wear it under your clothes. Special large electrode pads ensure effective coverage. You can also use the pads on your back if backache is your biggest problem. Clinically Proven - Trials carried out using the Ova Plus have identified that TENS is very effective at treating period pain. TENS reduces the cramping which is caused by reduced blood flow to the muscles. Results of the trial illustrated that the Ova Plus did not present any side effects, such as nausea and drowsiness, commonly associated with analgesia and other pain relief drugs. Endometriosis Pain Relief - Treatment for Endometriosis consists of non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs or the oral contraceptive pill, all of which work by reducing the activity of the uterine muscle. The Ova Plus uses TENS which, rather than reducing uterine muscle activity, works by altering the body's ability both to receive and to perceive pain signals. Endometriosis sufferers feel that the Ova Plus takes the edge off the pain and makes life more tolerable. Long-life Rechargeable Battery - The Ova Plus has a long-life rechargeable battery which can be charged via USB to enable quicker, more convenient charging without the use of a mains adaptor. IMPORTANT: If you suffer from epilepsy or a heart rhythm problem, use a pacemaker, or if you are pregnant, you should NOT use the Ova+. You may wish to discuss your options with your doctor or specialist. For pain relief during labour we recommend the MamaTENS and MamaTENS MyTime, which is also available from .
