Research suggests that HBOT may improve conditions such as chronic pelvic pain, endometriosis, and even polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) by reducing inflammation and promoting tissue repair. Additionally, it may support fertility by improving ovarian function and enhancing the quality of the uterine environment.
The International Hyperbarics Association lists these as demonstrated benefits of HBOT for improved women’s health:
Weight Management with HBOT:
Improves insulin sensitivity
Decreases inflammation
Increases metabolism
Enhances glucose and lipid metabolism in skeletal muscles
Increases overall energy levels
Fertility with HBOT:
Enhances arterial and venous blood flow
Provides adequate vascularization to the endometrium
Thickens the endometrium
Stimulates cell division of basal endometrium
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome with HBOT:
Decrease androgen receptor expression
Reduces overall oxidative stress
Increase in atretic follicles
Endometriosis with HBOT:
Decreases inflammation caused by endometrial lesions
Reduction in overall histopathological scores
Decreases inflammation on the nuclear factor kappa b pathway
Mental Health and Wellness with HBOT:
Enhances memory and mental performance
Develops and regains cognitive/motor functions
Stimulates neuroplasticity
Enhances executive function
Improves brain blood flow
Lowers chronic cortisol levels
Supports a more balanced and healthy stress response
