Where should I use moxibustion for urethritis?

Urethritis is a common disease of the urinary system. The main reason is that patients do not pay much attention to personal hygiene in daily life, especially women, so urethral infection will cause inflammation. The treatment of this disease is relatively simple. If the condition is not serious, it only requires medication. If you want to use traditional Chinese medicine to treat urethritis, it is not impossible. So, where should we apply moxibustion for urethritis?

1. Which acupoints should be moxibustioned for urethritis?

Acupoints for treating urethritis with moxibustion in traditional Chinese medicine: Huiyin, Shenshu, Mingmen, Guanyuan, Zhongji, Sanyinjiao, Qihai, and Baqiao points. For those with lumbar and sacral discomfort, focus on moxibustion on Shenshu and Ci Liao; for those with lower abdominal discomfort, focus on moxibustion on Guanyuan and Sanyinjiao. Which acupoints should be moxibustioned for urethritis

Moxibustion method: The acupoints on the waist and abdomen can be moved with a four-eye moxibustion box for moxibustion. The moving moxibustion of the acupoints on the waist and abdomen should not be less than 40 minutes, and the moxibustion of the acupoints on the limbs should be 15-20 minutes for each acupoint. Just use gentle moxibustion to avoid burns.

Its effect: Moxibustion can warm and nourish the kidney yang. Among them, Guanyuan point belongs to the Ren meridian, located on the midline of the abdomen, 3 inches below the navel. This point is the "Mu point" of the small intestine, the meeting point of the three Yin meridians of the foot and the Ren meridian, and the place where the body's vital energy is located. Also known as "Dantian". According to traditional Chinese medicine, Guanyuan is the place where true yang resides and where essence and energy are generated. Moxibustion on Guanyuan can make the clear yang rise, the turbid yin descend, the original yang warm, and the blood replenished. It can nourish the kidney and strengthen the foundation, replenish qi and restore yang, regulate Chong and Ren, and regulate qi and promote blood circulation.

2. How can women prevent urethritis?

First, pay attention to personal hygiene habits and reduce the number of times you use sanitary pads. Sanitary pads have poor air permeability and can easily lead to a large number of vaginal bacteria multiplying, causing inflammatory reactions, and urethritis can also easily occur. At the same time, female friends should also pay attention to the fact that after going to the toilet, they should wipe from front to back to prevent anal bacteria from being brought to the urethra and causing urethritis.

Second, develop good living habits and pay attention to vaginal hygiene, but do not rely too much on medicated washes. Just wash with clean water every day. Washes can easily destroy the growth of normal vaginal flora.

Third, make sure you have enough rest time and avoid overwork. Overwork will lead to a decrease in the body's immunity and create good conditions for bacterial invasion.

3. How can men prevent urethritis?

First, advise the patient to avoid sexual activity before being cured; abstain from alcohol, spicy food, and drink plenty of water.

Second, necessary isolation should be carried out at home, and bath towels, washbasins, bathtubs, toilets, etc. should be used separately or disinfected after use.

Third, tell patients what is safe sex, what is risky sex, and how to avoid risky sex.
