The side effects of long-term acupuncture depend on the individual, and some people may experience pain, subcutaneous bruising, and needle fainting. Acupuncture should be practiced under the supervision of a physician.
Acupuncture is safe and is a commonly used clinical TCM treatment. If long-term acupuncture patients are psychologically burdened, emotional tension when entering the needle may feel pain at the site of the needle, which may also cause stagnation of the needle.
Some patients may also experience dizziness, nausea, and other symptoms of needle fainting if they are overly hungry, nervous, or anxious about acupuncture, and need to remove the needle in time and take first aid measures.
Bleeding and subcutaneous ecchymosis may also occur after acupuncture, which can be relieved by cotton ball pressure.
Acupuncture must go to the regular medical institutions, do not blindly operate on their own, so as not to cause adverse reactions.
