Hot summer is a good time for acupuncture. Generally, the whole body sweats after acupuncture, and people can't wait to take a bath immediately. However, pinholes will be left on the skin after acupuncture, and premature bathing may cause infection. How often do you take a bath after acupuncture?
How long can I take a bath after acupuncture? You can't take a bath immediately after acupuncture, so as to avoid cold, cold and wet water entering the body with the needle mouth, and also avoid crowd infection. How long to take a bath after acupuncture is related to the type of needle and the patient's physical condition.
The type of needle. If you choose filiform needle therapy, you can take a bath two hours after acupuncture. Because the diameter of the needle is about 0.25~0.3mm, the needle mouth can be closed immediately in a short time; Sensitive or infected people can only take a bath the next day. If you choose triangular needle, or triangular needle combined with pricking and cupping, it will hurt your skin. You need to wait until the wound is closed before taking a bath, which usually takes about 2~4 hours. If treated with a small needle knife, the pinhole is relatively large, and you can take a bath after 1~3 days.
The patient's physical condition. Those with normal body, no infection and normal immune function can take a bath on the day of filiform needle treatment. If you are in poor health, you can take a bath after 2 days of treatment. If you have diabetes and low immunity, you can take a bath after acupuncture for 3 days.
