How long can people do abdominal moxibustion?

Patient's question:

I had an abortion last week and now my stomach hurts a lot. How long can I apply moxibustion to my abdomen after an abortion?

Doctor's answer:

If you had surgery last week, then the current abdominal pain should be considered either an infection caused by the previous surgery or a complete lack of recovery of the uterus. You can undergo a detailed ultrasound examination of the uterine appendages. It is essential to have a follow-up check after an abortion to assess the extent of the uterus's recovery. Medications for anti-inflammation should be used in conjunction. Currently, it is not recommended to apply moxibustion to the abdomen, as it is not effective.
