In general, dacryocystitis is a common eye condition, and massage may help alleviate pain and discomfort. The specific steps are as follows:

1. Wash your hands thoroughly before massaging and ensure they are dry.

2. Place the pad of your index finger on the skin at the inner corner of the eye near the bridge of the nose, and gently perform circular motions from the upper part of the lacrimal sac downward. Each massage session should last 5–10 seconds.

3. While massaging the lacrimal sac, simultaneously apply gentle pressure to the lacrimal canaliculus to help move secretions downward.

It is important to follow the principle of moderation when massaging dacryocystitis—avoid applying excessive force to prevent increased pain or tissue damage. To avoid unnecessary injury, it is recommended to visit a reputable medical facility and perform the massage under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional. If symptoms are severe, prompt medical attention is advised to prevent disease progression.
