Patient's question:
I often didn't do well with breastfeeding and accidentally got pregnant. It wasn't until two or three months later that I went for a gynecological examination and found out I was pregnant. The doctor said that if the pregnancy is less than three months, it's more complicated to have an abortion and it may affect the uterus. They recommended medication abortion. How long after medication abortion can I do moxibustion?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, it is generally possible to do moxibustion after taking medication for an abortion. However, if you currently have significant skin breakdown with residual tissue inside the uterus, you should wait until these symptoms disappear before doing moxibustion. This will help prevent the possibility of the skin breakdown from worsening. In addition to moxibustion, you should also take some Chinese herbal medicines that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, or apply cold compresses as supplementary treatment. This will be more effective.
