Acupuncture points in the lumbosacral and lower abdomen, such as the eight scholars, Shimen and Guanyuan points, as well as Sanyinjiao and Hegu points, should not be massaged during pregnancy.
Acupuncture points in the lumbosacral and lesser abdomen, such as Shimen, Guanyuan, Qihai, Yinjiao, Zhongji, Bladder Yu, and Bashi, should not be massaged during pregnancy. Because the acupuncture points in the lumbosacral and small abdomen are closer to the uterus, if they are manipulated, they may cause damage to the fetus or even lead to miscarriage.
In addition, Sanyinjiao has the effect of activating blood circulation and regulating menstruation, benefiting qi and strengthening the spleen; Hegu has the effect of calming and relieving pain, and activating menstruation and blood circulation. Sanyinjiao, Hegu and other acupuncture points are prohibited for pregnant women to avoid damage to the fetus.
If you need to massage the acupoints during pregnancy, you need to do it under the guidance of a professional doctor.
