Is moxibustion useful for urethritis

The urethra is a very critical tissue in the urinary system. It is the channel for urination. A large amount of urine is discharged from the body through the urethra every day. The urethra may suffer from diseases due to various factors, which have a great impact on health. For example, urethritis infection is a common problem, which will make patients feel very painful and uncomfortable. Let's take a look at whether moxibustion is effective for urethritis infection?

Urethritis refers to inflammation of the urethral mucosa, which is more common in women. Patients with urethritis often experience frequent urination, painful urination, urgency, and hematuria. Males in the acute phase may have urethral secretions, which are mucous at first and then become purulent. Females have less secretions, which become chronic and manifest as urethral stinging and discomfort during urination. Urethral secretions decrease and become thin and serous. During an acute attack, there is dull pain in the suprapubic area and perineum, and the urethral opening may become red and have secretions.

Patients suffering from this disease can use moxibustion on the Shenque, Zhongwan, Guanyuan, Taixi, Sanyinjiao, Yongquan and Baliao points. Once a day, 20-30 minutes for each acupoint. If time is insufficient, you can use a moxibustion box. For more concentrated acupoints, a double-hole moxibustion box or a four-hole moxibustion box can be used. According to the acupuncture points. This way, you can perform moxibustion at the same time and save time.

If you have enough time, you can also use ginger moxibustion. Ginger moxibustion is to cut ginger into 2-3mm thick and 2-3 cm slices, poke some small holes on it with a toothpick, place it above the acupuncture points, then cut the moxa sticks into 2-3 cm lengths, light them and place them above the acupuncture points. During the moxibustion process, if it feels hot, you can move it around the acupuncture point. Apply 1-2 moxa sticks to each acupoint until the skin becomes flushed.

In addition to moxibustion treatment, what other care do we need to do?
