How to perform cupping for gynecological inflammation?

Gynecological inflammation is becoming more and more common in modern life, causing great harm to the lives of many women, because gynecological inflammation will affect women's physiological needs and lead to a crisis in the relationship between husband and wife. Therefore, if you have a gynecological disease, you must actively treat it. The method of using traditional Chinese medicine cupping to treat gynecological diseases has been favored by people. Let's take a look at how to perform cupping for gynecological inflammation?

Cupping method

(1) Flash fire method: Hold a 95% ethanol cotton ball with a needle holder or vascular clamp, hold the ignition tool in one hand and the can with the other hand, with the can mouth facing down. After ignition, quickly insert the fire into the can, rotate it one circle and withdraw it, and quickly buckle the can on the selected area.

Special tips: ask the patient to keep a relatively fixed position; ensure that the mouth of the cup is smooth and undamaged; when cupping, prevent ethanol from dripping and scalding the skin after ignition; after igniting the ethanol cotton ball, do not stay at the mouth of the cup or inside the cup for a long time to avoid heating the cup and scalding the skin.

(2) The fire-throwing method uses an ethanol cotton ball or paper, lights it and throws it into the cup, then quickly pulls the cup out to the selected area.

Special note: Because there are burning materials in the tank, the falling fireball can easily burn the skin, so it is only suitable for pulling it horizontally from the side of the body.

(3) Cotton sticking method: Use 1-2 cm ethanol cotton pads to stick to the middle and lower part of the inner wall of the cup or the bottom of the cup. After ignition, quickly pull the cupping jar to the selected part.

Special note: Do not soak cotton in too much ethanol to avoid burning the skin.

Precautions

1. When cupping, you should choose an appropriate body position and a part with plump muscles. Parts with uneven bones or more hair are not suitable.

2. When cupping, you should choose cups of appropriate sizes according to different parts of the body. The suction strength of the cupping should be determined according to the condition of the patient. For those with a strong body, the force can be slightly greater, while for those who are old and weak, the force should be less.

3. Pay attention to keeping warm during cupping and retaining the cup, and closely observe the patient's reaction. If the patient feels uncomfortable, remove the cup immediately. In severe cases, let the patient lie flat, keep warm and drink hot water or sugar water. You can also massage the Neiguan, Hegu, Taiyang, Zusanli and other acupoints.

4. When cupping, you should be careful to prevent fire and avoid burning or scalding the skin. If you are scalded or the cup is left on for too long and blisters appear on the skin, the blisters do not need to be treated. Just apply sterilized gauze to prevent abrasions. When the blisters are large, use a sterilized needle to drain the water, apply gentian violet solution, or wrap them with sterilized gauze to prevent infection.
