Trainee reporter Yao Xiaoxiao
"I want to get rid of a cold by cupping. Unexpectedly, after cupping, dense bubbles appeared on my back, which made me ache all over. " 10 10/3 1 day, the citizen Zhou Min told our reporter that after going to the hospital for examination, the doctor said that the blisters caused by leaving the cans for too long were burns, which made her very depressed.
"I always feel that I can't sleep well recently and I have a cold sweat. Thinking that cupping was cold, I went to a health pavilion on Liaohe Road in the city. " Zhou Min told reporters that after pulling out the canned food, she felt a little uncomfortable in her back, but she didn't care too much and went home to rest.
"After lying in bed, I feel itchy and painful in my back. My husband saw that there were many transparent white bubbles on my back. " Zhou Min said that her husband was afraid of problems, so he drove her to this hospital. A person in charge in the store told her that it was a cold and she would be fine the next day.
"But when I got up the next morning, I felt more and more pain in my back. My husband was really worried and took me to the hospital. The doctor looked at it and said it was because the cupping time was too long and it burned. " Zhou Min told reporters that she also went to the health center to discuss the argument, but the other party repeatedly shirked the responsibility.
Is cupping really so unsafe? The reporter interviewed Ms. Wang, a technician with many years of cupping experience. Ms. Wang told reporters that when choosing cupping, you must find an experienced technician. Because cupping mostly uses alcohol, we must control the amount, otherwise it will easily cause burns; For safety, cover your hair with a towel. If you are really worried, you can still choose the fuel tank now.
What should I pay attention to in cupping? The reporter also interviewed Ma, deputy chief physician of dermatology of the Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. He said that in the usual medical treatment, skin damage caused by improper cupping will also be encountered. "Many citizens think cupping is simple and easy. If they feel cold, they will go to the massage parlor to cupping. At present, many technicians in small massage parlors have not received formal training, and they directly follow the master for two days, which not only brings security risks, but also causes skin injuries. If cupping takes too long under large negative pressure until the blisters are pulled out, it will not only hurt the skin, but also cause skin infection. "
Ma said that everyone's physique and skin quality are different, so the time of cupping is different. Generally, cupping should be watched by professionals, and cupping should be done immediately if there are signs of foaming. When people choose cupping therapy, they should go to regular medical institutions to avoid unnecessary skin damage or operational accidents.
