Can You Get Rid of Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome with Cupping?

Cupping is a traditional therapy in traditional Chinese medicine, which belongs to the category of alternative therapy in modern medicine. Cupping is to use cups as tools to remove the air in the container by burning flame, generate negative pressure, and make the container adsorb on the skin to achieve the purpose of treatment. Some people believe that the scientific principles of cupping may be based on the following hypotheses:

1. Mechanical stimulation

The negative pressure of cupping acts on the skin, pulling the nerves, muscles, blood vessels and glands under the skin, which may cause a series of neuroendocrine reactions, regulating the vasomotor function and vascular permeability, so as to improve local blood circulation, eliminate tension, anxiety and other adverse emotions, so as to reduce swelling and pain, and heal the damaged local tissue.

2. Negative pressure effect

The negative pressure of cupping makes the local capillaries expand or even break, the red blood cells are destroyed, and local hemolysis occurs, which is a benign stimulus to the local immune cells of the body.

3. Warming effect

The local warming effect of cupping makes the blood vessels expand and the blood flow increase, which increases the permeability of the blood vessel wall and the phagocytic capacity of cells and causes a local slight inflammatory reaction to cope with the adverse external stimulation.

The release of hemoglobin in red blood cells is a kind of benign stimulation to the human body. It can regulate the function of tissues and organs through the human nervous system and promote the phagocytosis of white blood cells at the same time. Therefore, it can improve the sensitivity and tolerance of skin to external changes, so as to effectively enhance the immune ability.

The above hypothesis has not been proved by experiments. Whether cupping has a therapeutic effect or not is still a lack of strict clinical evidence to support. Therefore, cupping therapy has not been recognized by modern medicine. At present, cupping therapy is mainly used as an alternative therapy and physical rehabilitation for some diseases.

Some people also regard cupping as a method of relaxation and health care. A professional doctor should be consulted before cupping. If you want to cure the chronic pelvic pain syndrome safely and effectively, herbal medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill can be a good choice.
