How moxibustion treats pelvic inflammatory disease

The most common and frequently occurring disease among many married women is pelvic inflammatory disease, which constantly brings pain and unnecessary troubles to women's normal daily lives and even affects their family life. Severe pelvic inflammatory disease can also lead to infertility. Traditional Chinese medicine moxibustion therapy is very popular now. How does moxibustion treat pelvic inflammatory disease? In fact, prevention of pelvic inflammatory disease is more important than treatment.

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) refers to inflammation of the female pelvic reproductive organs, the connective tissue around the uterus, and the pelvic peritoneum. Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is often caused by incomplete treatment of the acute phase. It has a long duration and is a stubborn disease. Bacteria retrogradely infect the pelvic cavity through the uterus and fallopian tubes. But in real life, not all women will suffer from pelvic inflammatory disease, only a few will develop it. This is because the female reproductive system has a natural defense function that can resist bacterial invasion under normal circumstances. Pelvic inflammatory disease will only occur when the body's resistance decreases or the female's natural defense function is destroyed due to other reasons.

How does moxibustion treat pelvic inflammatory disease? Moxibustion originated in ancient China because its mechanism of action is similar to acupuncture and it has a complementary therapeutic effect with acupuncture. It is usually used together with acupuncture, so it is called acupuncture. Acupuncture treatment has a far-reaching influence at home and abroad, but modern people say that acupuncture mostly refers to acupuncture, and rarely includes moxibustion. It is a treatment method that uses moxibustion materials made of moxa to generate moxa heat to stimulate acupuncture points or specific parts of the body surface, and adjust the disordered physiological and biochemical functions of the human body by stimulating the activity of meridian qi, so as to achieve the purpose of preventing and curing diseases.

Pelvic inflammation is mostly a mixed infection of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, mainly caused by poor menstrual hygiene or postpartum or postuterine surgery. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is caused by residual evil, resulting in organ dysfunction, Qi and blood imbalance, and damage to the Chong and Ren meridians. Patients experience lower abdominal distension, pain, and back pain, which often worsens after fatigue, sexual intercourse, and before and after menstruation, and are accompanied by heavy vaginal discharge.
