Female abdominal puncture and cupping

Female abdominal bleeding and cupping should be handled with caution, and it is recommended to do so under the guidance of a professional traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. Stimulating blood and cupping is one of the external treatment methods in traditional Chinese medicine, which promotes the circulation of qi and blood by stimulating meridians and acupoints. However, the abdominal area involves important organs, and improper operation may cause discomfort.

Abdominal puncture and cupping are commonly used to regulate gynecological problems such as menstrual disorders and dysmenorrhea. During operation, avoid the projection area of the navel, arteries, and organs, and choose acupoints such as Guan Yuan and Qi Hai. Strictly disinfect the skin before puncturing, use a disposable blood collection needle to lightly puncture 2-3 millimeters, and control the cupping time within 5-8 minutes. This method is contraindicated for women with weak constitution, menstruation, and pregnancy. Some people may experience local bruising, mild dizziness, and other reactions, which usually subside on their own within 1-3 days.

The abdominal skin is thin and the internal organs are concentrated, so special attention should be paid to safety during operation. This method is prohibited for patients with diabetes, blood coagulation dysfunction and skin infection. If there is a purple black mark on the can that persists for a long time, severe pain, or palpitations and shortness of breath, the operation should be stopped immediately and medical attention should be sought. It is recommended to keep warm before and after treatment, avoid contact with cold water within 24 hours, and use moxibustion at Shenque point to enhance the therapeutic effect.
