The weather is particularly hot in summer, and one may accidentally suffer from heatstroke. Heatstroke must be treated promptly, otherwise it will bring more negative effects. Some pregnant women suffer from heatstroke due to improper care during the summer, and they want to treat it by cupping, but they are worried that it may not be appropriate. Can pregnant women with heatstroke have their cupping removed?
Pregnant women who suffer from heatstroke should not have their cupping removed. Pregnant women belong to a relatively special group. Although cupping is effective and has no side effects, it needs to be performed at certain acupoints, which may stimulate the uterus of pregnant women, cause uterine contractions, and lead to premature birth or even miscarriage. Accidentally pulling out a can of fire may burn the body. If a pregnant woman suffers from heatstroke and really wants to have the cupping done, she must go to a professional hospital and be careful not to have the cupping done in key areas such as the abdomen.
Pregnant women with heatstroke should take the following measures immediately. Firstly, it is necessary to leave the high-temperature environment. When pregnant women feel chest tightness and dizziness, they should understand the importance of leaving the high-temperature environment and resting in a cooler place. Secondly, it is necessary to immediately undo the clothes to dissipate heat. After arriving at a cool place, pregnant women should immediately undo their tops to ventilate. At the same time, be prepared to drink salt water until the pregnant woman's breath stabilizes, which will quickly improve. Thirdly, pregnant women must seek medical attention promptly after stabilizing and take medication under the guidance of a doctor.
