Cupping is not something everyone needs to try. It has many taboos that need to be strictly observed, otherwise it will bring health problems to those who receive cupping treatment. Moreover, cupping surgery also needs to pay attention to some matters to avoid causing other diseases after surgery.
Cupping can cause a small amount of bleeding and congestion under the tissue. Some cupping will have acupuncture puncture before use. These operations require the body to return to normal tissue structure within a certain period of time. This is not the obvious effect of detoxification and dampness that some "big fools" say. Generally speaking, cupping is not suitable for people who are weak, hungry and overworked. They have poor self-healing ability and can't adapt to the invasive operation in cupping. Especially the following people, need special attention:
1, people with severe cardiovascular diseases-these people will take anticoagulant drugs for a long time, and their coagulation function will be poor, and tissue bleeding will be induced under the negative pressure of cupping. Some people even have a large amount of bleeding, and the coagulation time will be longer after bleeding, which will increase the chance of infection; Another reason is that cupping in some areas and health institutions is an invasive operation, and stress can induce the onset of cardiovascular diseases;
2. People with hemorrhagic diseases, such as hemophilia patients or people taking anticoagulant drugs, have abnormal coagulation mechanism, are prone to bleeding, or are difficult to stop bleeding after bleeding. Don't be fooled by fake health experts without professional qualifications, thinking that it is heavy moisture and toxic gas in the body;
3. For tumor patients, such as patients with myeloma, osteosarcoma, lung cancer and breast cancer in the cupping area, cupping is absolutely forbidden. In these areas, negative pressure suction will accelerate tumor metastasis, especially acupuncture and puncture before cupping, which is more likely to lead to tumor cells transferring through blood.
4, suffering from skin diseases and infectious diseases-people with skin diseases (eczema, allergic dermatitis, etc.). ), skin infection (carbuncle, abscess), local trauma and injury, cupping will aggravate skin injury, and improper handling will lead to infection; The immune ability of patients with infectious diseases decreases, and other infections may occur in the process of skin injury, and diseases may be transmitted to others through cupping devices, such as patients with herpes zoster and fungal dermatosis;
5. People with lung diseases-active tuberculosis, or patients with pulmonary bullae and emphysema whose lung anatomical structure has changed, have large or small pulmonary bullae, that is, the alveolar structure is very weak. The negative pressure of cupping can induce the rupture of pulmonary bullae and lead to pneumothorax. Severe pneumothorax can induce dyspnea and acute heart failure, which requires emergency rescue.
6. Pregnant women and menstruating women, as well as some lactating women, should also choose carefully-this may be the reason why such patients are prone to infection due to decreased immunity. In addition, cupping should also be prohibited in pregnant women's lumbosacral region and abdomen, Hegu, Sanyinjiao and Xue Hai, otherwise it will affect the fetus;
7. Use cupping with caution for fragile tissues-the facial skin is weak, and cupping for a long time, high temperature and heavy hands is prohibited; Children have tender skin and poor immunity, and many parts of the body are not suitable for cupping. Inexperienced technicians may burn, burn and damage the skin during operation, and older children should also avoid using heavy technology.
8. Other precautions: Cupping is prohibited in cases of varicose veins, acute soft tissue injury and apical pulsation. Intraoperative negative pressure will aggravate the condition and make the heart uncomfortable.
