Can cupping be done during menstruation?

Fire cupping is not recommended during menstruation. Fire cupping can promote blood circulation, speed up the flow of Qi and blood, as well as activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis. During menstruation, the body is in a low immune state and the pelvic cavity is severely congested, so if cupping is done, it may cause an increase in menstruation and may prolong it, wasting the body’s blood. During menstruation, you should take rest, keep warm, strengthen nutrition, eat fresh vegetables and fruits and protein-rich diet, do not eat spicy and cold food, and do not eat seafood. And of course, no cupping. If you want to cupping, it is best to do it 3-7 days after your menstruation. It is best to let a professional doctor cupping or cupping under the guidance of a doctor, do not just cupping.
