Can you use cupping during early pregnancy?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, pregnant women should not have cupping therapy. If pregnant women undergo inappropriate cupping therapy, it may cause threatened miscarriage and other complications. It is recommended that cupping therapy should be avoided unless necessary. In special cases where cupping therapy is required, it should be performed under the guidance of an experienced doctor. It is best not to have cupping therapy after becoming pregnant, as improper handling could lead to a miscarriage, which would be problematic.
