Can I have acupuncture during menstruation? Generally it is not recommended

Acupuncture is generally not recommended during menstruation, so as to avoid a large increase in menstrual flow, which in turn damages women's health. In addition, if women experience unbearable pain during menstruation, acupuncture must be used to solve the problem, and it also needs to be done under the guidance of a doctor.

In real life, many women now know how to treat diseases through some physical therapy methods, such as moxibustion therapy, which does have a good effect. However, if a woman is in a special physiological period, can she undergo acupuncture? Let's find out below!
Traditionally, acupuncture is not suitable during menstruation. However, in a broad sense, doctors can perform acupuncture according to the actual situation of the patient. If the patient's menstrual cycle is regular, and the color and texture of menstruation are normal, then if the patient has some symptoms during menstruation, acupuncture can also be performed. Moreover, for women with menstrual disorders and menstrual dysfunction, they can take pre-menstrual care. If the menstrual volume is small and the menstrual cycle is delayed for 5 to 7 days, acupuncture treatment can be performed.
Generally speaking, acupuncture treatment during menstruation will produce some adverse stimulation, such as severe pelvic congestion and changes in menstrual volume. If the woman is normal, the menstrual volume and time cycle are usually normal, and there are generally no other problems. It is recommended not to perform acupuncture treatment during the period of menstruation; if there are adverse symptoms such as dysmenorrhea and amenorrhea during menstruation, acupuncture is needed to relieve pain, or regulate menstruation, then regular treatment can be carried out in conjunction with the magic lamp or warm acupuncture; if a woman needs to treat adverse symptoms such as cervical spondylosis during menstruation, acupuncture treatment can also be used to relieve it without stimulating the waist.
If women must undergo acupuncture treatment during menstruation, they must pay attention to their bodies. If the physical illness is not particularly painful, it is recommended not to undergo acupuncture treatment first. It is best to wait until the menstruation is over before acupuncture. If it is a very painful illness, a professional doctor should determine whether to undergo acupuncture, and acupuncture should be performed if possible.
