Is moxibustion effective for treating uterine prolapse?

Uterine prolapse is a disease, and many women do not take this disease seriously. They either think the disease is not serious or they think it is too serious. If the disease is not serious, they will not treat it, which will cause sequelae. If the disease is very serious, they will not receive timely surgical treatment. So let’s take a look at whether acupuncture is effective in treating uterine prolapse. I hope that everyone can gain something from the editor’s introduction.

Uterine prolapse disease name. It is also known as uterine prolapse, vaginal prolapse, vaginal (疒^沦), convulsion disease, uterine incapacity, and intestinal incapacity. I want to call it hanging eggplant or gourd. It also falls within the scope of vaginal prolapse and vaginal hemorrhoids. It refers to a woman's uterus falling down or even falling out of the vaginal opening. Symptoms include uterine prolapse or prolapse outside the vaginal opening, or even bulging together with the vaginal wall or bladder and rectum. It is mostly caused by Qi deficiency and sinking, belt meridian dysfunction, Chong and Ren meridian deficiency, or multiple births, difficult labor, excessive force during delivery, heavy physical labor too early after delivery, etc., which damage the cell network and kidney Qi, and cause the uterus to lose its maintenance.

Moxibustion is mainly used to invigorate Qi, nourish the kidneys and strengthen the body.

Acupoints to be selected: Baihui, Zhongwan, Yangchi, Weibao, uterus, Sanyinjiao, etc.

Moxibustion: once a day, each time for 40 minutes to 1 hour. Use a three-eye moxibustion box or a four-eye moxibustion box to perform large-area moxibustion on the abdominal acupoints, which basically covers these acupoints. Acupoints such as Sanyinjiao, Yangchi, Baihui, etc. can be treated with a single-eye moxibustion box, and each acupoint should be moxibustioned for at least 10 minutes.

After acupuncture on Guanyuan acupoint, the needle handle was enlarged into moxa shape 5 times, and the patient was told to cooperate with moxibustion on his own after returning home, especially heavy moxibustion on Baihui acupoint. After more than 10 such treatments, all symptoms were alleviated, and he insisted on moxibustion on his own.

Now it’s the second time, and I can treat it myself with moxibustion. As long as I persist, there will be good results.

Moxibustion on Zhongwan can replenish the middle and benefit the qi, and improve the body's vitality; Yangchi is the original point of the hand Shaoyang Triple Burner Meridian, which can help the triple burner qi transformation and promote the movement of triple burner qi. It has been reported that taking Yangchi in combination with Zhongwan can treat left and right retroverted uterus. The head is the meeting point of all yang, so moxibustion on Baihui has the effect of raising yang and consolidating prolapse. Therefore, for diseases such as anal prolapse and uterine prolapse, Guanyuan and Baihui are often used to treat these diseases.
