Can I use cupping on the first day of my period?

Cupping is also known as jar air, suction cup therapy, etc. It is a traditional Chinese medicine treatment method in my country. It can dispel cold, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. It has a good therapeutic effect on rheumatism, periarthritis of the shoulder and other diseases. Cupping is to heat the cup in a certain way, and then let the cup absorb the air on the wound by exhausting the air. This can squeeze out unnecessary blood accumulation. Before cupping, it is best to let the doctor develop a specific solution.

In order to avoid excessive bleeding during menstruation, cupping is not recommended for patients. The first day after the menstrual period is still unstable. It is best to perform cupping three days after the menstrual period. Cupping during menstruation can cause capillary bleeding, which will take the patient longer to clot blood, resulting in continuous bleeding. At the same time, pregnant patients should also avoid cupping, as it may harm the child. Cupping should not be performed on hairy or uneven areas. Cupping is closely related to acupuncture points. During the cupping period, the patient should remain still to avoid restlessness.

Since cupping is so popular, it has its own functions and effects. Next, I will introduce the functions and effects of cupping. Cupping can expel moisture and cold air from the human body. This dampness can penetrate into the skin tissue and have a refreshing effect. The acupuncture points and meridians in the human body are all interconnected, so cupping can dredge the meridians, make our organs more harmonious, and make the blood and qi in the body flow smoothly, thus achieving the purpose of strengthening the physical fitness. Cupping can also treat some tissue damage in the body, lumbar disc herniation and other diseases, and can relieve pain.

The above is a brief introduction to whether cupping can be performed on the first day of menstruation and the effects of cupping. I hope it can provide help to friends in need. Although cupping is an activity suitable for people of all ages, different operation plans are required according to different physical fitness. It is best not to perform cupping at home without authorization, otherwise it is easy to cause accidents such as bleeding.
