Can you do fire dragon moxibustion after IVF down-regulation injections?

Generally, fire dragon moxibustion is not recommended after IVF down-regulation injections; if it is needed for disease treatment, fire dragon moxibustion can be done first. A downregulation injection is an injection that is given to control a woman’s ovulation and promote the maturation and expulsion of multiple follicles when undergoing IVF. The injection is primarily a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist that acts on the pituitary gland to inhibit gonadotropin secretion and bring down hormone levels. If Fire Dragon Moxibustion is performed at this time it will increase blood circulation in the body, which may interfere with a woman’s menstrual and ovulation cycles and diminish the effect of the descending injection. For patients who must use fire dragon moxibustion for disease treatment, it is recommended that they be treated first and then undergo IVF treatment after their symptoms have subsided. When undergoing IVF with downregulation injections, it is important to note that after two weeks of medication, if your period does not come in time, you should seek medical attention to find out why. As well as during this period should pay attention to rest, avoid staying up late, as well as light diet, quit smoking and drinking.
