Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Can I massage acupoints during my period?Doctor's answer:
What cannot be massaged is a contraindication for Tuina therapy. You can wait until after your menstrual period to have a massage.Massage is not recommended during menstruation. Regardless of which acupoints are targeted, it can stimulate menstrual qi, leading to blood and qi imbalance, which may prolong the menstrual period or increase menstrual flow, among other adverse effects. It is best to choose to have a massage after your period. Thank you!
The occurrence of menstrual irregularities not only affects women's lives but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is advisable to visit a gynecological clinic for a vaginal examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
