Can I have lumbar acupuncture during menstruation?

During menstruation, women will experience heavy bleeding, so their physical condition is in a relatively weak state. Therefore, women should generally try to avoid activities such as tooth extraction during menstruation. But if a woman suffers from lumbar problems and wants to relieve pain through acupuncture during menstruation, is this feasible? Let's analyze it today.

1. During the menstrual period, because a large amount of menstrual blood is discharged, women's qi and blood are relatively insufficient, and their ability to adapt to the external environment is also reduced. Their resistance to external stimuli is weakened, and the soreness and pain caused by acupuncture will also make them unbearable. These women are often overly nervous and emotionally unstable, which will directly disrupt the hormone level during the menstrual period and cause menstrual disorders.

2. If you must have acupuncture during menstruation, you should also be cautious. If you can tolerate the pain, it is best to wait until the menstruation is over before having acupuncture. If it is a very serious illness, you should listen to the doctor's arrangements and then decide whether to have acupuncture. Even if these women can have acupuncture, they should also pay attention to the time and acupoints. Because some acupoints cannot be touched during menstruation, otherwise it may cause increased bleeding, prolonged menstruation, and prolonged menstruation.

3. In addition to being cautious during the menstrual period, women should not have acupuncture within three months of pregnancy. Acupuncture is prohibited in the abdomen and lumbar sacral area for more than three months. Pregnant women with weak constitutions or a history of habitual miscarriage should also avoid acupuncture.

4. During the menstrual period, we recommend that you do not perform acupuncture on the lumbar spine, because women's body resistance is actually very poor at this time, which can easily lead to bacterial invasion. In addition, women at this time have relatively insufficient qi and blood, so if we perform acupuncture, it can easily cause heavy bleeding. So if you can tolerate the symptoms yourself, then just be patient for a few days. Women should also avoid acupuncture during pregnancy.
