Patient's question:
After my aunt got cervicitis, the doctor recommended her to do moxibustion treatment. So, which parts should be treated with moxibustion for cervicitis?Doctor's answer:
General cervical inflammation may be caused by conditions such as damp-heat constitution, cold in the uterus, qi and blood imbalance, phlegm-dampness stagnation, blocked meridians, and delayed blood clots. Before applying moxibustion, a constitutional diagnosis should be conducted to enhance the therapeutic effect by selecting appropriate acupoints. Most patients can undergo gentle moxibustion therapy on the lower abdomen and lumbosacral region, which can be combined with acupoints such as Sanyinjiao, Taichong, Zusanli, Guanyuan, and Qihai. In addition to timely treatment for cervical inflammation, patients should also pay attention to dietary habits, such as proper eating and maintaining a positive mood. Meanwhile, patients should also be mindful of choosing a top-tier hospital for diagnosis to ensure optimal treatment outcomes.
