Why is massaging the Yongquan point very painful?
Massaging the Yongquan point can also be very painful, which may be because Yongquan itself is an acupoint, and massaging it will be more painful than other parts. Especially for people with low pain thresholds, there will be a sense of acid, swelling, and pain when massaging the Yongquan point, which is a normal phenomenon and there is no need to worry too much.
1. Soft tissue injury: Some people may suffer from local fatigue due to poor posture for a long time, or improper shoe wearing. Since the sole is more sensitive, there will be a sense of pain when pressed at this time, and it may even cause pain when massaging the Yongquan point, or even when pressing around it, which belongs to soft tissue injury. External drugs such as Yunnan Baiyao plaster and blood-activating pain-relieving plaster can be used to treat soft tissue injury;
2. Kidney diseases: If the patient has blood stasis and blockage in the kidney meridian, or if kidney toxins cannot be excreted, it will be very painful when massaging the Yongquan point. The symptoms of Yongquan point tenderness will gradually subside, and you can take blood-activating and blood-breaking drugs under the guidance of a doctor, and at the same time, you can also apply blood-activating and Astragalus drugs under the guidance of a doctor, which can also alleviate the symptoms of Yongquan point tenderness.
If massaging the Yongquan point is very painful, maintain appropriate force and avoid overexertion. It is best to avoid massaging the Yongquan point during a woman’s menstrual period, as it may lead to increased menstrual flow and affect physical health. In addition, if you have eaten too much, it is best not to massage the Yongquan point, as it may affect the digestion and absorption of food.
