Precautions for the use of acupuncture needles

There are many precautions to take when using acupuncture needles. First of all, doctors must strictly adhere to the principle of aseptic operation to prevent infection. For patients, it is important to truthfully inform the doctor of their physical condition, such as whether they have a history of allergies or diseases. When undergoing acupuncture, the patient should maintain a relaxed state and avoid excessive tension. If fainting or other conditions occur during the acupuncture process, the operation should be stopped immediately and corresponding measures taken. After acupuncture, patients should pay attention to the cleanliness of the acupuncture site, avoid getting it wet, and prevent infection. At the same time, pay attention to rest and diet as instructed by the doctor. Only by paying attention to these matters can the safety and effectiveness of acupuncture treatment be guaranteed.
