Dysfunctional uterine bleeding, abbreviated as "DUB," refers to abnormal uterine bleeding that is often caused by hormonal imbalances and typically does not involve any substantial pathological changes in tissues or organs. DUB is a common gynecological condition characterized by irregular menstrual cycles, excessive menstrual flow, prolonged periods, or irregular bleeding. This condition can lead to complications such as anemia, secondary infections, infertility, and even the development of endometrial adenocarcinoma. Moxibustion has been found to be effective in managing this condition, but it is important to rule out any organic uterine diseases before undergoing moxibustion.
Begin the regulation one week before the onset of menstruation (moxa is not recommended during the menstrual period), and it is suggested to do it once a day, with 2 to 3 acupoints each time, for 30 to 40 minutes per acupoint. Each menstrual cycle is considered one course of treatment, and it is recommended to continue the treatment for three courses consecutively. (If time permits and there is a need, more acupoints can be moxibusted. The specific duration should be adjusted according to one's own physical needs.)
