The side effects of long-term cupping on the abdomen mainly include skin damage, blood vessel damage, organ damage, etc.
1. Skin damage
Long-term cupping may lead to skin damage on the abdomen, which is prone to itching, redness, blisters, pain and other symptoms, and may also cause secondary infection.
2. Blood vessel damage
If cupping is carried out on the abdomen for a long time, local blood vessels may become fragile and easily rupture and bleed, and then symptoms of congestion may occur.
3. Organ damage
Long-term cupping on the abdomen may cause damage to internal organs, such as uterus, bladder, intestines, etc., thus affecting their function.
