During pregnancy, women's body's resistance significantly decreases, making them more susceptible to certain diseases. Therefore, pregnant women must pay attention to nursing care. Some pregnant women will have facial paralysis, so they can choose to use traditional Chinese medicine to treat it, such as acupuncture and moxibustion, which has a good therapeutic effect. So, how long can acupuncture and moxibustion cure the facial paralysis of pregnant women?
When pregnant women suffer from facial paralysis, the first step is to identify the cause of the paralysis in order to receive targeted treatment. If it is treated by acupuncture and moxibustion, there will be some differences in the treatment time due to different conditions. Some patients with mild conditions can recover to normal after about ten days of treatment. If central facial paralysis is caused by a stroke, the treatment time will be longer.
If female friends do not pay attention to keeping warm during pregnancy, such as frequently blowing in front of windows or being directly blown by air conditioning, it is likely to lead to facial paralysis. This is because the microcirculation of facial nerves is prone to dysfunction when stimulated by cold, leading to facial paralysis, which is commonly known as facial stroke.
Pregnant women with facial paralysis may also be caused by viral infection, resulting in facial neuritis. When the virus invades the facial nerves, it can cause nerve edema, which can lead to symptoms of facial nerve paralysis. As the condition worsens, it can develop into facial paralysis.
