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 fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. I'm asking if foot massage during menstruation can affect physiology.Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is recommended not to do it during menstruation! Foot massage works by stimulating acupoints and unblocking meridians to eliminate fatigue in the body. Before undergoing foot massage, soaking feet in a medicinal solution first accelerates blood circulation in the body, which may affect the amount of uterine bleeding. If foot massage is too intense, uterine contractions will strengthen, significantly increasing menstrual bleeding. Additionally, stimulating body acupoints through foot massage can disrupt some existing physiological conditions, affecting normal rest.
