What are the dangers of applying plaster during menstruation

When people have back pain or joint pain, it is common to use plasters to treat them. However, plasters are not suitable for everyone. Women who are menstruating are not suitable for plasters, and they may cause certain harm, such as increasing menstrual flow and prolonging menstrual time. What are the harms of plasters during menstruation?

Whether to apply plasters during menstruation depends mainly on what disease is being treated. If it is to treat leg pain or arm pain, then you can apply the plaster. If it is to treat abdominal diseases, then you need to be cautious because the plaster contains blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing drugs. Applying the plaster during menstruation may cause an increase in menstrual flow. Prolonged menstrual period has an impact on women's bodies. Therefore, if women want to use plasters during menstruation, they need to consult a doctor first.

The use of plasters to treat diseases has a history of thousands of years in my country, and has been even more popular in recent years! Especially for children with colds, coughs, and fevers, using plasters to treat them can save them from physical pain and the pain of injections. Some elderly people can also use plasters when they suffer from rheumatic pain, and the therapeutic effect is very significant. The combination of different medicines and sticking them in different places can treat different diseases.

When applying the plaster, you must stick it to the correct location, or acupoint, so that the plaster can be effective. For example, if a child has a stomachache, he needs to stick it on the belly button. If you have cervical pain, you need to stick it on the Dazhui point. Also, before applying the plaster, be sure to consult your doctor about how long to use the plaster. Tear off the plaster within the specified time to prevent skin allergies, redness, swelling, and ulceration. During menstruation, women with skin ulcers, redness, swelling, and pus should try not to apply plasters. Plasters are not miracle drugs and will not work immediately. They must be used according to the course of treatment to recover from the disease. So patients should not be impatient when using the plaster.
