Is moxibustion applicable to the elderly child-bearing?

With the social progress and the development of medical technology, more and more elderly women choose to have late childbearing. However, they often feel puzzled when facing fertility problems. In addition to the traditional assisted reproductive technology, there are also some non drug therapies, such as moxibustion. Moxibustion, as one of the traditional Chinese medicine therapies, is believed to promote the health of the reproductive system and recuperate the body. So, can the elderly child-bearing people try moxibustion? This article will elaborate on this issue from several aspects.

1. Effect of moxibustion on fertility

Moxibustion can promote blood circulation, increase the blood flow of the reproductive system, and thus enhance the function of the uterus through thermal stimulation. For the elderly child-bearing people, moxibustion can improve the cold condition of the uterus, regulate the internal environment of the uterus, and increase the chance of pregnancy. Moxibustion can also strengthen the contractility of uterine muscles, which is conducive to the smooth delivery process. However, it is worth noting that everyone's physique is different, and their reaction to moxibustion is also different. Therefore, doctors should be consulted before using moxibustion.

In addition, moxibustion can balance the endocrine of women, enhance the estrogen level in the body, regulate the menstrual cycle, and reduce the problem of irregular menstruation and excessive menstruation. This will help to improve the ovarian function, increase the quality and quantity of follicles, and thus improve the probability of pregnancy for elderly women.

2. Effect of moxibustion on physical condition

Older child-bearing people are usually accompanied by some health problems, such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, etc. Before moxibustion, they need to go to the hospital for a comprehensive health examination and communicate with the doctor. Since moxibustion will produce certain temperature stimulation, which will affect the blood circulation and cardiovascular system, it is necessary to ensure good health.

In addition, moxibustion also plays a certain role in strengthening the body's immune system, improving resistance, and preventing infection and inflammation. This will also help to reduce complications and accidents during pregnancy for the elderly.

3. Safety and side effects

Moxibustion, as a non drug therapy, is considered relatively safe. However, improper use and negligence may lead to some adverse reactions. Before moxibustion, the elderly child-bearing people need to find a regular Chinese medicine hospital and seek the guidance of professional doctors. At the same time, moxibustion should be avoided both during menstruation and after satiety, so as not to affect the effect.

As for side effects, moxibustion may cause skin burns, blisters, allergies and other problems. Elderly child-bearing people should pay special attention to the sensitivity and resistance of their skin. If they feel uncomfortable, they should stop moxibustion and seek medical advice in time.

4. Relationship between moxibustion and other assisted reproductive technologies

Moxibustion can be used as an assisted reproductive technology and combined with other technologies. For example, moxibustion can be combined with traditional Chinese medicine treatment, acupuncture, mental adjustment, etc. to form a comprehensive treatment plan. However, it should be emphasized that moxibustion cannot replace traditional assisted reproductive technologies, such as artificial insemination, test tube baby, etc. Older child-bearing people still need to receive professional examination and treatment in the hospital before attempting moxibustion.

Summary

To sum up, moxibustion is feasible and effective for the elderly. Moxibustion can promote the health of the reproductive system, increase ovarian function, improve the condition of the uterus, and increase the probability of pregnancy. However, before choosing moxibustion, the elderly child-bearing people need to consult with professional doctors and ensure that they are in good health. In addition, moxibustion needs to be carried out in regular hospitals to ensure safety and effectiveness. *Later, moxibustion is only one kind of assisted reproductive technology, which cannot replace traditional medical treatment.
