Can I do scraping after giving birth?

Generally speaking, pregnant women and women who have just given birth are not allowed to do scraping, because women's bodies are often weak after giving birth. If they do scraping at this time, firstly, their bodies are prone to catching cold, and secondly, it is not conducive to postpartum recovery. In fact, not everyone can do it. For example, people with poor liver and kidney function or edema should not do it. People with varicose veins, or ulcers or injuries on the skin should not do it.

Because of the deficiency of Qi and blood and insufficient vital energy after childbirth, if you do not take good care of yourself at this time, or you are greedy for coolness, or feel wind and cold, or have careless daily life, or improper rest, etc., all of these symptoms can lead to systemic symptoms. Appropriate cupping or scraping is acceptable, but while drawing out blood stasis and phlegm, it also consumes the body's true Qi, so it will cause the Qi to become increasingly weak. If this treatment method is used excessively or frequently, it will have the opposite effect.

It is best not to do scraping or cupping during the confinement period. Wait until you have recovered for a while before doing so! Because if the cold evil enters the body and takes root, although it can be cured, the treatment takes a certain amount of time. In addition, for a very small number of patients, if they are not treated in time or are treated incorrectly, the condition can be delayed for several years. In more serious cases, it may cause paralysis and disability. It can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine. Such as nourishing Qi and blood, harmonizing meridians and relieving pain, etc., with warming as the main approach, better therapeutic effects can be achieved. In daily life, you should pay attention to regular living habits, rest on time, not stay up late, not drink cold drinks, avoid catching cold, keep an open mind, and keep your emotions in balance.

Women's bodies are still relatively weak after childbirth and are in the recovery period. At this time, they should pay attention to avoid catching a cold and pay attention to a reasonable diet to supplement the various nutrients needed by the body. In addition, they should strengthen hygiene care after childbirth to avoid infection and various gynecological diseases. During the postpartum confinement period, scraping is not allowed. It is best to wait until the body recovers before scraping.
