Is it normal to experience abdominal pain after warming the uterus?

"Warmming the uterus" is a traditional Chinese medicine term that usually refers to using warmth-based methods to regulate the uterus, such as moxibustion or heat application, with the aim of improving symptoms of cold uterus or promoting blood circulation. After undergoing such warming treatments, some individuals may experience mild abdominal discomfort, which is generally normal. The warmth stimulation might cause uterine contractions or enhance qi and blood circulation, and this temporary pain or discomfort typically resolves on its own. However, if the abdominal pain is severe, lasts for an extended period, or is accompanied by other symptoms such as fever or abnormal bleeding, it may not be a normal reaction and could indicate an allergic response, infection, or another underlying issue. In such cases, the warming treatments should be stopped immediately, and medical advice should be sought for symptom evaluation and appropriate treatment.
