Can I get acupuncture during my period?

It is possible to have acupuncture during menstruation, but it should be divided into areas, for example, the lower abdomen and lumbosacral area should not be acupunctured during menstruation. If acupuncture has an effect on menstruation, it may cause an increase in menstruation, which has a negative impact in the clinic, and may lead to irregular menstruation. However, with cervical spondylosis or extremity disorders, acupuncture is possible during menstruation. But some periods, such as during menopause, when her menstrual flow is particularly heavy, some moxibustion methods should be used, such as moxibustion of the hidden white point to stop the patient’s bleeding, otherwise her excessive menstrual flow will cause excessive blood loss, which can also be dangerous. Also in the teenage period many people have menstrual cramps, when menstrual cramps can do moxibustion, local lower abdomen and lumbosacral area is possible moxibustion, but not advocate needle. So it is possible to do acupuncture during menstruation.
