After 6 days of moxibustion, I couldn't resist having sex

Having sexual intercourse 6 days after moxibustion generally does not have a serious impact on the body, but it may affect the efficacy of moxibustion. Moxibustion stimulates acupoints to warm up meridians, and sexual intercourse may consume qi and blood. It is recommended to avoid vigorous activity for 24-48 hours after moxibustion to consolidate the effect. After moxibustion, the body is in a state of qi and blood mobilization, and sexual intercourse may accelerate the consumption of qi and blood, especially for people with weak constitution or those who undergo kidney tonifying moxibustion. If symptoms such as lower back pain, fatigue, and dizziness occur after sexual intercourse, it may be related to the depletion of kidney qi, which can be relieved by resting quietly and drinking red date wolfberry tea. After moxibustion, some people's skin pores may open up, and sweating during sexual intercourse may increase the risk of catching a cold, so it is important to keep warm. A small number of patients may experience significant discomfort during sexual intercourse after moxibustion, such as lower abdominal pain, menstrual disorders, or infection with moxibustion sores. This type of situation is more common in those who immediately engage in sexual intercourse after moxibustion at abdominal acupoints such as Guan Yuan and Qi Hai, or those who have a constitution of Qi deficiency and blood stasis. If there is persistent abdominal pain, abnormal bleeding, or redness, swelling, and suppuration at the moxibustion site, timely medical treatment should be sought.

It is recommended to interval moxibustion treatment for at least 24 hours before proceeding, and avoid excessive fatigue during this period. In daily life, it can be combined with Eight Section Brocade, slow walking, and exercise to help the circulation of qi and blood. In diet, ingredients such as yam and black beans that nourish the spleen and kidneys can be added. If long-term reproductive system problems need to be regulated, it is recommended to develop a combination plan of moxibustion and daily rhythm under the guidance of a doctor.
