Patient's question:
It's very frightening when this happens. I often experience lower abdominal pain and don't know how to solve it, so I came here for consultation. Could you please tell me if it's okay to have cupping therapy in the early stages of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, pregnant women should not have cupping therapy. If pregnant women undergo inappropriate cupping therapy, it may lead to conditions such as threatened miscarriage. It is recommended that cupping therapy should be avoided unless absolutely necessary. In special cases where cupping therapy is required, it should be performed under the guidance of an experienced doctor. It is generally best not to have cupping therapy after becoming pregnant. If it is not handled properly and results in a miscarriage, it would be problematic.Generally, doctors will advise patients with signs of potential reproductive risks to pay attention to keeping warm and avoid cold exposure. Additionally, patients should also ensure a comfortable environment, which is beneficial for rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
