What are the hazards of thread embedding for weight loss

Thread embedding for weight loss may cause adverse reactions such as local infections, allergic reactions, subcutaneous nodules or bruising, and in severe cases, can lead to nerve damage or organ perforation. Catgut embedding for weight loss is an extension of acupuncture and moxibustion therapy, which stimulates metabolism by implanting absorbable suture into acupoints, but complications may occur if the operation is improper or the constitution is special. After thread embedding, common symptoms of infection such as local redness, swelling, heat, and pain are often caused by incomplete disinfection or improper postoperative care. Some people are allergic to materials such as catgut, manifested as skin itching, rash, and even anaphylactic shock. Poor suction of the thread may result in subcutaneous induration, accompanied by pain during compression. Embedding the thread too deeply may damage the nerves, causing numbness or movement disorders in the limbs. In rare cases, the accidental insertion of abdominal buried wires into the intestinal tract can cause abdominal infection.

Thread embedding for weight loss should be operated by a reputable medical institution. Avoid contact with water within 24 hours after surgery and avoid spicy and stimulating foods for one week. If you experience persistent fever, severe pain, or skin ulcers, seek medical attention immediately. Pregnant women, patients with diabetes and patients with skin diseases should not try. Weight loss should be combined with dietary control and exercise. Relying solely on thread embedding has limited effectiveness and carries risks.
