Nowadays, many female friends usually do some health care things, such as cupping, scraping, etc. In fact, many friends don’t know much about the taboos of cupping and scraping. Women have a special physiological cycle. Many female friends also do cupping and scraping during menstruation, but many friends don’t know the impact. So, can you scrape during menstruation? Ms. Zhang, a reader from Heilongjiang, asked: I am 25 years old. My menstruation usually occurs at the end or beginning of the month, and I usually have mild urticaria. A few days ago, I went to a beauty salon for scraping treatment. After the scraping, purple-black sha appeared, and urticaria appeared on the scraped area. I also got my period the next day. Will scraping make the blood flow downward and bring forward the menstrual period? How should I deal with such a situation? Wang Peng, deputy chief physician of the Acupuncture Department of Dongzhimen Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, replied: Gua Sha is usually performed on specific parts of the body. After applying lubricants such as scraping oil or scraping lotion, a special scraping board is used and the corresponding techniques are applied to repeatedly scrape the skin to create red or purple spots and plaques for the purpose of treating diseases or preventing and maintaining health. If the area of sha is small, the color is light, and it appears as red spots, the condition is relatively mild; if the area of sha is large, the color is dark, and it appears as purple-black patches, the condition is relatively severe. Healthy or weak people are not prone to sha. If you have an allergic constitution, the continuous and repeated physical stimulation from the scraping board, or the scraping oil and other medicines applied during scraping, may become allergens, triggering allergic reactions and causing urticaria in the scraped area. If you have a severe allergic constitution, scraping treatment is not recommended. The principle of scraping is to open the pores, thereby promoting the flow of qi and blood, and unblocking the meridians. It generally has no effect on menstruation. Early menstruation may be accidental, or it may be caused by physical fatigue after scraping, qi deficiency and inability to control blood, etc. It is recommended to observe for 1 to 2 months first. If it returns to normal, no special treatment is required. If there is still a small amount of bleeding between two menstrual periods, or the menstruation is more than 7 days in advance and lasts for more than 2 cycles, it is recommended to see a gynecologist. Chinese medicine will make a comprehensive judgment based on the color of the menstrual period, the amount of menstrual blood, etc., and provide Chinese medicine treatment. After reading the above introduction, I believe everyone should know the answer to the question of whether scraping can be done during menstruation. It is not suitable for women to do scraping during menstruation. Don’t think that this can achieve the effect of health care. In fact, this can easily cause some menstrual diseases, so everyone still needs to make choices based on their physical condition. |
