Can moxibustion treat menstrual disorders?

Patient's question:

It is said that moxibustion has great benefits for the body. These days, my period has come. Can moxibustion treat menstrual disorders?

Doctor's answer:

Moxibustion has the effect of invigorating blood and resolving stasis. It can help regulate menstrual disorders in women with conditions like uterine cold and body cold, but it's not suitable for everyone. For menstrual disorders, it's important to visit a hospital for a thorough examination of six hormones and a color Doppler ultrasound. A comprehensive analysis is needed to make a clear diagnosis before considering combined traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment. Moxibustion is generally best avoided during the menstrual period.
