ADVANTAGES OF Ova+
The Ova+ can be an option for women who prefer not to use medication.
The Ova+ causes muscles in the uterine area to relax with a calming
analgesic effect.
By reducing menstrual pain, the Ova+ can help improve sense of wellbeing
and allows everyday activity to resume while it is worn.
The Ova+ is non-invasive and drug-free, therefore the risk of side effects
is considered to be low and can be worn comfortably while engaging in
everyday activities.
The Ova+ is easy to use and very discreet. Its small size makes it
convenient to wear all day and this allows you to get on with your everyday
life, without period pain.

HOW IT WORKS
The Ova+ uses T.E.N.S. to relieve pain. T.E.N.S. stands for
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. The Ova+ machine delivers
small electrical pulses to the body via electrode patches placed on the
lower abdomen. It works in three ways:
It blocks pain signals from reaching the brain through a mechanism
•
called the 'Pain Gate'.
It stimulates the natural production of endorphins which raise the
•
threshold for pain perception.
Finally, it helps to relax the contracted muscles.
•
It is important to allow the Ova+ time to work. Each time a new programme
or position for the pads is selected allow the Ova+ to run for thirty minutes.
If after that time the relief is not sufficient, then try another programme or
pad position. Even if you obtain excellent relief it is still useful to try other
settings.
