Does uterine cold affect ovulation?

Uterine cold can indeed affect ovulation and cause problems, and the symptoms of patients with different causes are completely different. Some patients will feel that their menstrual volume has decreased, which will lead to irregular menstruation. In addition, some patients also feel that they have clinical manifestations of sexual loss and cold hands and feet. Therefore, it should be controlled in the early stages of the disease.

Due to different causes and different stages of the disease, uterine cold can have many different clinical manifestations in women's menstruation, pregnancy, breastfeeding, miscellaneous diseases, etc. For example, the manifestations of menstrual diseases include: scanty and delayed menstruation, amenorrhea, menstrual edema, menstrual diarrhea, dysmenorrhea; the manifestations of pregnancy diseases may include: threatened abortion, habitual abortion, ectopic pregnancy, etc.; the manifestations of lactation diseases may include: prolonged lochia, postpartum abdominal pain, etc.; the manifestations of gynecological miscellaneous diseases may include: chronic pelvic pain, endometriosis, vaginitis, infertility, etc. Other systemic manifestations of coldness determined by traditional Chinese medicine may include cold pain in the lower abdomen, pain relieved by heat, fear of cold, cold hands and feet, sore and cold waist, loss of libido, loose stools, pale tongue, white tongue coating, and deep and moist pulse.

It is important to differentiate between real cold and false cold. Clinically, both deficiency-cold and excess-cold belong to cold syndrome, but because of differences in etiology, pathogenesis, and clinical manifestations, there are also differences in treatment, especially in medication. Deficiency-cold refers to the lack of Yang in the body, which causes coldness from within, meaning "Yang deficiency leads to external coldness". It is due to the deficiency of Yang Qi in the body, the weakened warming biochemical ability, the body cannot be warmed, and the symptoms of cold syndrome appear, which falls within the scope of Yang deficiency syndrome.

Real cold refers to the external cold evil, which causes excessive cold in the body, damaging the Yang Qi and causing symptoms of cold. When Yin and cold are prevalent, excessive Yin leads to cold, which means "excessive Yin leads to internal coldness". If there are pain symptoms, there will be a common characteristic that the pain will be relieved after warmth, but there are also differences: real cold causes severe pain that is resistant to pressure; false cold causes dull pain that is relieved by rubbing and pressing. Real cold is the actual evidence of cold air invading the human body, which can be seen in cold hands and feet, pale complexion, and tasteless mouth. Deficiency and coldness are accompanied by the decline of the functions of various internal organs, and are often accompanied by symptoms such as fatigue, lack of energy, poor appetite, loose stools, and scanty menstruation.

Generally speaking, premature birth, miscarriage and other reasons may cause women to have congenital spleen and kidney yang deficiency, which cannot properly transport and transform the water and moisture in the body, so internal cold accumulates. It may also be due to acquired reasons such as wading in water, living in a cold place for a long time, using air conditioning during menstruation, eating cold food or being directly attacked by cold evil in the cold winter, etc., and external cold evil may condense in the uterus and cause the disease. Because the uterus refers to the female internal reproductive organ, various gynecological diseases can be seen, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, delayed menstruation, oligomenorrhea, amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, vaginitis, miscarriage, postpartum abdominal pain, postpartum lochia, infertility, etc.
