Can you have moxibustion after a hysteroscopy?

If there is no vaginal bleeding after hysteroscopy, moxibustion is usually allowed; if it is during vaginal bleeding, moxibustion is not recommended. However, whether moxibustion is allowed or not should be decided in the light of the patient’s constitution and condition. Since most patients will have a small amount of endometrial shedding after hysteroscopy, which causes vaginal bleeding, and moxibustion has the effect of activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis (promoting blood circulation and eliminating blood stasis in the body), it is not recommended to perform moxibustion during the period of bleeding so as not to affect the recovery. Moxibustion is the production of moxa heat from moxa materials made of moxa leaves, which stimulates acupoints or specific parts of the body surface to regulate disordered body functions by stimulating the activity of meridian qi. It has the effect of warming the meridians and dispersing cold (warming the meridians of the human body to get rid of the cold in the body), activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis (promoting the blood circulation and eliminating the blood stasis in the body), etc. Moxibustion can generally be carried out during the period when there is no vaginal bleeding. It should be noted that the patient must be under the guidance of a professional Chinese medicine practitioner to carry out moxibustion treatment.
