Where to apply moxibustion for pelvic effusion

The pelvic cavity is a very important part of women. The main reproductive organs are located in the pelvic cavity. Therefore, if there is a disease in this part, it may affect women's fertility. Pelvic effusion is a very common manifestation. It can occur alone or may be a manifestation of a certain disease. Moxibustion has a certain therapeutic effect. So, where should moxibustion be applied for pelvic effusion? Let’s take a look below.

Acupoint: Sanyinjiao point, three inches above the tip of the medial malleolus, on the posterior edge of the medial surface of the tibia. The patient can put four fingers together, place the little finger on the tip of the medial malleolus on the opposite side, and place the index finger at the junction with the posterior edge of the medial surface of the tibia.

Method: Use one moxa stick each time. Moxibustion on the painful point will give you a warm and comfortable feeling. Moxibustion should be continued until the skin turns red. Each time, moxibustion should last for 20 to 30 minutes. One course of treatment is seven days. After resting for one or two days, you can start the second course. Generally, there are 1 to 2 courses of treatment. In addition to moxibustion on the Sanyinjiao point, you can also moxibustion the tender points in the abdomen.

Effect: Moxibustion on painful points can dredge the meridians, promote blood circulation and eliminate inflammation; moxibustion on Sanyinjiao acupoint can nourish the spleen and kidneys, help digestion and dredge the meridians.

Although moxibustion is said to be able to penetrate all meridians and cure all diseases, it does not mean that you do not need to see a doctor if you are sick. Moxibustion is a limited regulation of the human body. Once the disease develops beyond the body's own regulation, you need to seek help from a doctor. Therefore, it is recommended that patients with pelvic effusion consult a professional doctor before treatment, follow the doctor's instructions, and use moxibustion correctly under the guidance of professionals.

Physiological pelvic effusion does not require special treatment, and a small amount of pelvic effusion can be absorbed on its own. If it is pelvic inflammatory disease or tumor effusion, the amount of fluid will be more than 100 ml, and targeted treatment is required according to the cause.

1. General treatment

Relieve patients' mental concerns, enhance their confidence in treatment, increase nutrition, exercise, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and improve the body's resistance.

2. Medication

If it is caused by inflammation, active anti-infection treatment should be given; if it is caused by a tumor, chemotherapy drugs should be used in combination with surgical treatment.

3. Surgery

Patients with lumps, hydrosalpinx or tubo-ovarian cysts can undergo surgical treatment; patients with small foci of infection and recurrent inflammation should also undergo laparoscopic exploration. The principle of surgery is to completely cure the disease and avoid leaving any residual lesions. For young women, ovarian function should be preserved as much as possible. The effect of single therapy on chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is poor, so comprehensive treatment is appropriate.
