Can I have cupping when I have my period?

It is best not to cupping during menstruation. Cupping can stimulate the essence, promote blood circulation and regulate the balance of yin and yang in the body. During menstruation is a special period when the body’s resistance decreases and the pelvic cavity is congested with blood, resulting in weakness, lumbago, abdominal pain and other discomforts. If cupping is done, it may lead to menstrual irregularities such as prolonged periods. Fire cupping can be done during non-menstrual periods and has the effect of relieving dysmenorrhea. During menstruation, it is important to take rest and pay attention to protection against cold and warmth, which can easily cause dysmenorrhea and menstrual disorders after getting cold. Also avoid sexual intercourse, which can easily cause bacteria to the uterine cavity causing infection due to decreased resistance. To do a good job of health care, you should wash your vulva with warm water every day, and your underwear should preferably be changed and washed regularly to avoid infection.
