For abdominal distension and pain, if acute abdomen is ruled out, use the same method. The effects of cupping are immediate. For constipation with abdominal distension and pain within three days, cupping can be performed followed by several rounds of cupping; usually, abdominal distension decreases, gas is released, and bowel sounds can be heard. For constipation lasting six to seven days, it is not advisable to perform cupping; an enema is recommended.
