Women work very hard in the process of conceiving a new life. In the early stages of pregnancy, they need to endure the trouble of morning sickness. After the middle stage, the pregnant belly gradually increases, and pregnant women need to endure more hardship. Some pregnant women may experience cervical discomfort during pregnancy and occasionally use neck protectors to relieve discomfort. Can pregnant women use neck protectors?
Although neck protectors can alleviate cervical discomfort, it is not recommended for pregnant women to use them during pregnancy. Because most neck protection devices on the market are equipped with magnets, which generate a magnetic field to stimulate neck acupoints. And this has a certain level of radiation, which may have an impact on the healthy development of the fetus. To avoid affecting the health of the fetus, it is recommended that pregnant women do not use neck protectors easily.
The principle of using a neck protector to relieve fatigue is achieved by massaging the acupoints on the neck, and pregnant women are a special group and cannot easily massage acupoints. Because there are numerous acupoints on the human body, each of which is related to the five organs and six viscera, improper massage may cause miscarriage, which is also an important reason why it is not recommended for pregnant women to use neck protectors.
When feeling uncomfortable in the cervical spine during pregnancy, pregnant women can relieve it by applying hot compress. Hot compress can be done with a hot water bottle or a sea salt pack, as long as you pay attention to safety during the hot compress process and do not burn yourself. If a pregnant woman experiences severe cervical discomfort, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly and not take medication indiscriminately.
