Patient's question:
What are the effects and benefits of moxibustion? How is cervical erosion treated? Does moxibustion help alleviate cervical erosion?Doctor's answer:
Moxibustion has the effects of warming meridians and dispelling cold, and it can also regulate the body's yang qi. It is widely used in clinical diagnosis and can be applied to various internal, external, gynecological, and pediatric diseases. In clinical diagnosis, patients with cervical erosion often exhibit symptoms such as increased leukorrhea, yellow discharge, and a foul odor. In this case, moxibustion is generally not suitable because cervical erosion, in terms of TCM syndrome patterns, is characterized by lower jiao damp-heat. This syndrome is not well-suited for moxibustion.
