Patients with a herniated lumbar disc cannot have acupuncture when they have their menstruation, because if their menstruation is normally normal, with no change in quantity, quality or color, and no dysmenorrhea, acupuncture during menstruation for the treatment of a herniated lumbar disc may cause changes in the individual’s menstrual cycle and menstrual volume, so if they have their menstruation when they have acupuncture for a herniated lumbar disc, they can stop. However, some patients who suffer from menstrual diseases, such as hypomenorrhea, delayed menstruation, dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, etc., and also combined with lumbar disc herniation, can have acupuncture treatment during menstruation, which can achieve the effect of opening the tendons and activating the channels, activating the blood and relieving pain, as well as regulating menstruation when treating lumbar disc herniation.
