Patient's question:
After three days of moxibustion, my period arrived, which was six days earlier than usual. On the first day, there wasn't much blood, and I didn't feel anything. On the second day, the bleeding increased, and I started experiencing menstrual cramps. It was more painful than usual, and there were also more blood clots. Is this a sign that I'm not suitable for moxibustion??Doctor's answer:
For example, internal hemorrhoids are commonly caused by the displacement of the anal cushion or the dilation of venous clusters. External hemorrhoids are caused by venous dilation or the formation of thrombi due to internal bleeding. There are multiple treatment methods for hemorrhoids. Simple moxibustion cannot completely control the symptoms of hemorrhoids. If hemorrhoids worsen after moxibustion, it indicates that the condition is gradually progressing and alternative treatment methods are needed.
