How to treat chronic adnexitis with moxibustion

Chronic adnexitis can be treated with moxibustion, which has the effects of warming the meridians and dispelling cold, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, relieving inflammatory symptoms and improving local blood circulation. The specific method includes selecting acupoints such as Guanyuan, Qihai, and Sanyinjiao for moxibustion, 15-20 minutes each time, 3-4 times a week.

1. The principle of moxibustion in treating chronic adnexitis

Moxibustion stimulates acupuncture points through heat, promotes local blood circulation, enhances immunity, and reduces inflammatory reactions. Chronic adnexitis is often caused by cold and dampness invasion or poor circulation of qi and blood. The warming effect of moxibustion can dispel cold and dampness, dredge meridians, and thus relieve pain and discomfort.

2. Specific methods of moxibustion treatment

1 Guanyuan acupoint: Located 3 inches below the navel, it is an important acupoint for regulating gynecological diseases. Moxibustion on Guanyuan acupoint can warm the lower abdomen and improve pelvic blood circulation.

2. Qihai Point: Located 1.5 inches below the navel, it has the function of replenishing qi and benefiting the kidneys. Moxibustion on Qihai Point helps to strengthen the body and relieve chronic inflammation.

3 Sanyinjiao acupoint: Located on the inner side of the calf, 3 inches above the ankle tip, it is a commonly used acupoint for regulating gynecological diseases. Moxibustion at Sanyinjiao can harmonize qi and blood, and relieve symptoms such as backache and abdominal pain caused by adnexitis.

3. Precautions for moxibustion treatment

1. Pay attention to temperature control during moxibustion to avoid burns to the skin.

2 Avoid getting cold after moxibustion and keep warm, especially the abdomen and lower limbs.

3 Moxibustion treatment requires long-term persistence. It is recommended to do it 3-4 times a week for 1-2 months.

4. Auxiliary treatment methods

1. Dietary adjustment: Eat more warm foods, such as ginger, red dates, longan, etc., and avoid raw and cold foods.

2. Exercise conditioning: Perform appropriate gentle exercises such as yoga and walking to promote pelvic blood circulation.

3. Drug treatment: Use antibiotics or Chinese medicine conditioning under the guidance of a doctor, such as Guizhi Fuling Pills, Fuyankang Tablets, etc.

Moxibustion treatment for chronic adnexitis is a safe and effective auxiliary therapy, but it needs to be combined with diet, exercise and drug treatment. It is recommended to perform moxibustion under the guidance of a professional Chinese medicine practitioner to ensure the effectiveness and safety of the treatment. If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention in a timely manner to avoid delaying the condition.
