Can you do moxibustion during pregnancy?

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. May I ask if it's okay to do moxibustion during pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to what you mentioned, this situation is not considered ideal. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment. Generally, it is better to avoid moxibustion after pregnancy. After a thorough examination, follow the doctor's advice for treatment.
When prolactin levels in the body are excessively high, it can inhibit the secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormones by the pituitary gland and directly affect the synthesis of sex hormones in the ovaries. This can lead to low serum estrogen levels, resulting in ovarian dysfunction, reduced ovulation, or anovulatory galactorrhea, and in severe cases, amenorrhea, leading to infertility. I wonder how your current pregnancy situation is? You can undergo further examinations to clarify the issue and receive targeted treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
