Can I use cupping during my period?

Cupping, acupuncture, moxibustion, etc. are all traditional Chinese medicine treatment methods. Although many people nowadays suffer from some diseases. All of them use Western medicine for treatment, but Western medicine cannot eradicate the problem after all. If we want to completely eliminate the problem, we actually have to rely on traditional Chinese medicine in the end. For example, cupping can help people expel the cold air out of the body, promote blood circulation, accelerate the circulation of blood and qi, and help people reduce swelling quickly. In fact, many women have heard that cupping can regulate menstruation, so when they find that they have severe menstrual pain during their menstruation, they want to get cupping at this time.

First of all, everyone should know that cupping is not allowed during menstruation. Cupping can actually promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. If cupping is done during menstruation, it can easily cause endocrine disorders in women. Menstruation is caused by the shedding of the uterine mucosal tissue. Cupping can cause abnormal shedding of the uterine wall, so the menstrual period may be prolonged, and women's menstrual pain may be further aggravated, and even large amounts of blood clots may appear. If you continue to cupping during menstruation, it will undoubtedly cause certain damage to the cervix.

Women can completely cupping before menstruation. At this time, cupping can make the meridians receive good stimulation, help these women to circulate blood and qi, make blood vessels further dilate, remove the body's cold, and have no effect on the arrival of menstruation. If we want to regulate menstruation, it is completely possible to do so at this time. Moreover, cupping before menstruation can also make women's menstrual pain less severe and their menstruation smoother.

Although women should not cupping during menstruation, they can cupping three days after the menstrual period is over. At this time, cupping can also help women remove moisture and toxic gases from their bodies during menstruation. However, at this time, we still need to do a good job of keeping warm and eat more foods that replenish qi and blood.

During menstruation, people should try not to use cupping, especially for women who already have heavy menstruation, because cupping at this time will always cause abnormal shedding of the uterine wall, heavier menstrual flow, and more severe menstrual pain for women. If you are not careful, it may cause internal bleeding for women. If women want to regulate menstruation, they can use cupping before menstruation or three days after the menstruation is over.
