Harm of uterine cold to women

The so-called uterine cold refers to the lower abdominal distension and pain caused by insufficient kidney yang in women and the lack of warmth in the uterus. The pain will be relieved by heat. Excessive leucorrhea, dysmenorrhea, menstrual disorders, deep and tight pulse, and a thin, white, and fluid tongue coating are the main symptoms of uterine cold. Uterine cold is the name of a disease under the theory of traditional Chinese medicine and cannot be equated with the specific names of diseases in Western medicine. However, some common acute and chronic gynecological inflammations in Western clinical medicine (such as vaginitis, cervicitis, endometritis, adnexitis, etc.) can be treated with uterine cold syndrome differentiation, and good results have been achieved in clinical practice.

1. Constitution

Some women are born with a cold constitution, the main manifestations of which are: cold limbs, being particularly sensitive to cooler weather, having a paler complexion than average people, liking hot drinks, rarely feeling thirsty, being afraid of cold in winter and tolerant of heat in summer. A cold constitution is mostly caused by acquired factors. Living in a cold environment, liking cold food, overwork or irritability that damages the body's yang energy, etc. These are common causes of a cold body.

2. Air-conditioned room in summer

After entering midsummer, people wear very thin clothes, especially some women who love beauty, who wear revealing clothes. But in the office, the temperature is always a constant 24 degrees Celsius all year round, and the air-conditioning keeps the scorching sun away, but is always close to you. Unconsciously, cold air invades the body, and the uterus, a female organ, is the first to be affected, and uterine cold is not far away.

3. Rapid weight loss

Whether you diet, exercise, or take medicine, the way to lose weight is to make your consumption greater than your intake, but it must be a long process. If you try to lose weight in a short period of time, you will have to sacrifice your health. Rapid weight loss is nothing more than using strong and drastic drugs and abnormal means to expel excess water and fat from the body. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, this means that the body has lost a large amount of energy substances in a short period of time, and the cold evil is likely to take advantage of the opportunity to invade and attack the uterus.

4. Too much cold food

In traditional Chinese medicine, women’s constitution is yin and they should not be too cold. Even in the hot summer, you should not eat too much cold drinks, iced tea, fruits and other cold foods, let alone those who hold ice cream all year round. After eating too much cold and raw food, these foods will consume yang energy when entering the body, causing the internal generation of cold evil and damaging the uterus.

5. Miscarriage

The combination of sperm and egg and the growth of the fetus require women to consume a large amount of energy substances, so some pregnant women will have a very uncomfortable body and a face full of spots. Abortion is equivalent to suddenly throwing away all those energy substances, which requires the consumption of a large amount of yang energy in the human body. If the body is not properly maintained, the yang energy will be depleted for a long time, the uterus will lose its warmth, and uterine cold will result.

6. Kidney deficiency

Kidney deficiency, an important cause of uterine cold as described in traditional Chinese medicine, is caused by kidney deficiency. In "Dream of Red Mansions", Feng Ji relied on her strength after her miscarriage and continued to manage affairs. As her body became weak, she developed symptoms of continuous bleeding from her lower body. It was not until she rested and recuperated for eight or nine months that she gradually recovered. This is a typical case of kidney deficiency caused by excessive pressure on the kidneys due to pregnancy, coupled with uterine coldness caused by residual toxins in the uterus, which brings great harm to the physical fitness. There are now better and faster ways to deal with this kind of uterine coldness.

Harm of uterine cold

1. Leading to the occurrence of ovarian diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine talks about damage to the uterus, insufficient warmth and qi transformation, and kidney deficiency and coldness. The dysfunction caused by uterine coldness due to ovarian disease directly affects the normal ovulation function of the ovaries, affects the normal endocrine function of the ovaries, causes ovulation disorders, or no ovulation, and promotes a decrease in female hormone levels, thereby affecting normal menstruation and affecting women's normal conception and fertility.

2. The occurrence of uterine diseases itself. The uterus is where menstruation occurs and the fetus is nurtured. It is also the only way for sperm to reach the fallopian tube and combine with the egg. Uterine diseases that cause uterine cold will inevitably affect the normal endocrine system of women's reproductive system, and then affect normal menstruation and cause irregular menstruation. It also affects the normal combination of sperm and egg, making it impossible to form a fertilized egg. It will also affect the normal growth and development of the fertilized egg after implantation in the uterus. Thereby affecting normal conception and fertility.

3. The occurrence of fallopian tube diseases. Uterine cold can also easily lead to the disharmony and low function of the fallopian tubes, or even the complete loss of their normal functions. This makes it easy for uterine cold to occur due to fallopian tube diseases. Due to the decline in the function of the fallopian tube itself, the function of the end of the fallopian tube (fimbria) to pick up the "egg" and the normal peristaltic function of the fallopian tube are inevitably affected to a certain extent, which ultimately leads to the egg and sperm not being able to combine well, or even unable to combine to form a fertilized egg, which will inevitably affect normal conception and fertility.
