Cupping therapy is a traditional Chinese medical treatment that primarily uses cups as tools and can help prevent or relieve conditions such as cough and neck-shoulder syndrome. Generally, cupping is not recommended for women who are planning to conceive and are currently in their ovulation phase. This is because the likelihood of conception during intercourse in the ovulation period is relatively high, and women trying to conceive can achieve pregnancy through intercourse during this time.
Cupping generally refers to fire cupping. In general, women planning to conceive should avoid fire cupping during ovulation, as it may affect pregnancy outcomes. Specific analysis is as follows:
Fire cupping is a form of traditional Chinese therapy that uses cups as tools and can help prevent or relieve conditions such as coughing and neck-shoulder syndrome. Generally, women who are trying to conceive and are currently in their ovulation phase are usually advised not to undergo cupping. This is because the likelihood of conception through intercourse during ovulation is relatively high, and women planning pregnancy often time intercourse around this period to achieve conception. However, cupping can be stimulating, and undergoing it during ovulation may reduce the chances of conception, thereby affecting fertility.
It is recommended to maintain regular sleep patterns with early bedtime and early rising, ensuring adequate sleep; follow a light diet and maintain balanced nutrition; and schedule regular physical check-ups at the hospital.
